You can say the same about Windows updates.
Ubuntu has a new kernel update every 3 weeks, unless CVEs force sooner ones.

Anyway, parent was saying that Windows is shit because it forces frequent updates. Ubuntu, which as you say it's the closest to a user friendly Linux dist does the same thing.
- JamesT_Kirk 7y agoNot really. Linux Mint is more popular and is far more usable and stable in my experience. And it does not force updates.

Windows will kill all your apps and reboot your machine in the middle of the night on a regular basis, unless you do some serious digging in the registry. (And they may have closed off even that by now.) Is that "the same thing" as Ubuntu?
- computerex 7y agoOne thing that's different is that you'll be never forced to update on linux and you will never be forced to reboot, even on Ubuntu.
