From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

wish you could install only security updates
You can delay all other updates with the group policy editor. You can disable preview builds and you and delay quality updates by 30 days and delay feature updates by 365 days. The bugs are always worked out by then.
OR they could stop shipping broken updates for their $100 ad-infested operating system. Just a a thought.
My tinfoil hat theory is that they ship broken updates on purpose to feign how fast and hard they work on fixing them. See, customers, we really care!
thats good but Im also worried about the useless changes that they make... so after 365 days I would start getting constant useless updates anyways
Feature updates are necessary after a while. There's SOME important stuff in there. And if you wait a whole year before installing the new one, all the bugs will be fixed by then
Long term service branch exists on 10.
Only for Enterprise tho
