On the plus side, even if you did need to update Linux, it's not like you are running anything on it anyways.

How is letting you brick your install with little warning an advantage?

rm -rf / you dont have permission to do that.

sudo rm -rf / [linux dutifully commits sudoku until rm itself is gone]

I can control my updates on windows with the group policy editor.

Delay "feature" updates by 365 days, delay "quality" updates by 30 days. then the only updates that get installed right away are the security updates, the other two categories will get pulled if a large number of people report problems with them.

Windows is annoying...unless you know what tools to get to make it work correctly.

I'm a big fan of Linux, don't get me wrong QubesOS is the best thing I've ever heard of. But almost nothing I use is compatible with any distro of linux.

Once you use things like O&O shutup 10 and a few other things in the group policy editor, you'll love your windows machine.

The duck should be Linux Mint, the only linux distro thats never given me an issue on any computer I used in my life. Sometimes I contemplate turning off timeshift because its been years since i've needed it and the 30-50gb space could be better used.

It's actually pretty easy to permanently disable updates in Windows.

  • Go to Services.msc
  • Find Windows Update Services
  • Changed it to Disabled

Done.

You can't delete system apps on Android, but you can disable the ones that won't break your phone if they're disabled. I currently have Chrome, the Play Store (and, at least to an extent, Google Play Services), YouTube, and YouTube Music all disabled.

Just installed Ubuntu today for the first time in at least a decade. Touchpad two-finger scrolling is so sensitive. There’s no setting for it. I have to replace the driver with the synapse one, if my laptop supports it.
