if they only forced the security patches, that would be... well, at least it would be justifiable. but they also force the "quality" updates. quality updates i never asked for like making the voice assistant more intrusive, or installing some 3d painting software with no way to remove it, or digging microsoft online account tie-in further into the windows shell. windows 10 is (for me) worse than when i bought it. i get that some people wanted these updates, but i didn't. all i want is the software i paid for three years ago. and yes, i recognize that this is a problem with all "evergreen" software (internet browsers in particular jump out). but choosing an OS is a commitment, moreso than any other type of software, and when you commit to windows 10 you have no way to know how that commitment will pan out a year or two later. so anyway i'm back to `sudo dist-upgrade` and i'm pleased as punch about that.
