I don’t know… first time I installed Fedora as a desktop experience, I was more like the windows user in this comic.
On every boot: “Oh, lets see if there are any updates! 1.2 GB, 150 packages need updating. No fucking way.”. It was just a shock, and I’ve managed my own headless Debian system for several years at that point.
Right? I honestly don’t get where all those “Windows is constantly updating” memes come from. The thing updates once a month - after Patch Tuesday. You can set it in your calendar if you’re the forgetful type and know exactly when to expect updates. On Linux, updates hit non-stop, not a day goes by without some packages needing an update…
the difference is Linux isnt annoying with it, and most importantly i can keep using my system while installing the updates. also if you want updates every patch tuesday, just dont update your repos until then
On Linux I never had a BSOD into an unavoidable 40+ min update while I’m trying to finish something ASAP. I choose when to download updates, and when to install them.

I don’t know when’s the last time you used Windows, but I use it daily (for work), and these days the update process looks like this:
How is Linux less annoying than this?

Last time I saw a software related BSOD on my personal device was… 10 years ago.
Hardware, obviously, happens, but that’s not Windows at fault.
The longest time I had to wait for an update to finish was 20 minutes - since around Windows 10 dropped.
Seriously, it’s like you guys still think Windows is what Windows ME used to be…
last time i had a BSOD was when i tried to execute the .msi installer for firefox on a fresh install
Did you use any debloaters before that?
nope. i started the fresh install, downloaded the install, double clicked, bsod. on the second try it worked
