Funny, this is my main gripe with Windows. It doesn’t just work in the same way Linux does. I get an update, it takes 5-25 seconds and everything still works, every time.
I get a Windows update and I’m filled with dread crossing my fingers everything still works when it finally reboots, and that it hasn’t “accidentally” reset all the telemetry settings I turned off.
Plus not having to hunt for drivers and use weird installers for software that I have to hunt for online. Some windows listening to my dark mode preference and others not, etc etc.
To me, my PC is just a tool. I don’t care what runs on it, as long as it works reliably, is intuitive, looks cohesive, and doesn’t get in my way. Windows unfortunately doesn’t hold up to that.
Have you considered that the reason people complain about Windows Update is because Windows Update is frustrating to use? Or is that too complex a thought?
Even people who have zero intention of ever switching generally find updates on windows far more frustrating than they do on say iOS or Android.
Because Windows Update is frustrating to use.
Honestly the lengths people will go to to simp for their $2.75tn buddy is hilarious. We’re saying Windows update is good now?
At least we’re shilling for a community of passionate volunteers working towards something greater rather than a billion dollar company with a history of anti-consumer behaviour. Yeah, we’re the idiots
Not even a billion dollar company, a 2.8 trillion dollar company, who has a past, present, and no doubt future of treating their own customers like cattle.
People have this weird thing where if they use a product, they see any criticism of that product as an attack on themselves. It’s bizarre.
To these people, pointing out that I don’t like how Windows does X is an attack on their very soul. It’s telling them that their choices are bad and that they should feel bad. It’s telling them that they’re an idiot.
To me, it makes no sense whatsoever. It’s not a personal attack lmao
I just want a PC that works and linux ain’t it hun
Funny how my Linux PC works flawlessly without intervention then.

Except I’ve never had problems with it, they only seem to affect insufferable linux shills

Hit the nail on the head in the last analysis, chief.
Linux shills lmao, as if, idk, Linus Torvalds or some sinister chubby penguin mascot is paying people off…
I think you’re paranoid
I have experienced issues with Windows update. Many times. I’ve even had bricked hardware from it. And they’re well documented.
I trust my eyes and all the reporting a hell of a lot more than some random salty Microsoft shill online lol
