    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…
