I've always liked the way debian/Debian based systems do updates. Older versions of windows were maybe a little too subtle (many users just ignored the small icon in the tray) vs. the large dialog box that pops up. It's also very easy to just hit accept and let it run in the background. I switched my father's laptop over several years ago (he only surfs the internet/email/scans/prints) and haven't had a tech support call for two years. I'm stuck on windows until there's a decent mechanical CAD avaliable, but good lord am I wishing I stayed with 7. This is the first time I've ever had to change the default in GRUB to windows in ~10 years of dual-boot, since otherwise I have to babysit the thing every update. Sad part is, I actually prefer the UX of 10 more than even MacOS, but for anything 'power-user' orientated it's just such a pain to administer. Side note: has anyone else had problems with system settings reverting to default after updates? I've turned off the suggestion notifications several times, as well as neutering cortana.
