    I always prefer to wait at least 3 days to see if there is any problem with the update to be honest so i don’5 have to deal with it at all, why risk having my workflow compromised?

    True!

    Which is why Windows lets you defer updates for around 14 days.

    Yeah i agree but out there not everyone is a normie that can barely create a folder, if i want the update to be delayed i shouldn’t be limited by the OS!

    The issue is that there are TONNES of grifters out there who will peddle bullshit for Internet clout.

    Back in the Windows XP days there used to be legends that if you disabled Windows Update, you’d get 10% extra FPS in games. And people with no clue would go and disable updates…

    So, I’m glad I’m not forced to update on Linux. But I’m much more glad that Windows, with its, what, 75% market share, does force updates. We (as a civilisation) have already proven that we’re not mature enough to be allowed to disable them.
