    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

      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:

      1. Within 2-4 days of a Patch Tuesday when I’m packing up to go home from work I notice that the “Shutdown” button now says “Update and Shutdown”.
      2. I click that button, go to the kitchen to drop off the dishes I used during the day.
      3. I come back, the laptop’s off, I pack up and go home.

      How is Linux less annoying than this?

        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.

          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…
