Most software updates risk compromising your machine, no? I’m talking about whether external control is required for software updates to occur. As with Windows, where Microsoft can replace software on your machine at any time. On Ubuntu, canonical can add backdoored software to their repositories but they can’t forcibly install software on your machine AFAIK. Maybe I just misunderstood the comment I was responding to.
