Maybe one day we will get a truly unified update platform thru which we can update all our software, not just Windows. It's crazy that every single app has its own update mechanism in 2016.
- dangerlibrary 10y agosudo apt upgrade...
- cyphar 10y agoThat world exists in free software OSes like *BSD, GNU/Linux, illumos, etc.
- Kipters 10y agoThey provided a way with the Windows Store
- rbanffy 10y agoJust like pretty much every Linux has been since the mid 90's...
- Razengan 10y agoIsn't that what the Mac App Store has had for half a decade now? It's the best of both worlds: A unified repository for OS updates and sandboxed third-party software that is guaranteed not to fuck up your system, while still being able to install from other sources with their own update mechanisms. Now if only Apple worked on its UI and improved discoverability etc.
