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.
Yeah, everyone is an idiot but you, congratulations. We’re all making shit up, our computers crash because we’re noobs. Thank you for your contribution.

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

Pro-tip: clean install Windows, don’t use any “debloaters”, just uninstall the software you don’t want, and leave it like that.
You’ll enjoy a long and happy OS life.
