This is not tribalism. I’m detailing a history of why I stopped using Windows, because the updates were frustratingly annoying. If it wasn’t every week, it certainly felt like it - perhaps it was every other week. But it’s not dishonest to claim that Windows updates took up far more time than macOS updates. If I update my Mac twice a year, but Windows has to update bi-weekly (or monthly, as the person responded to me claimed is the only possible way), that is still several hours more time dedicated to Windows updates overall. Additionally I can go far longer without updating my Mac - I’m not sure if there was a setting for this on Windows, but their updates seemed more-or-less forced. —- It’s interesting you believe someone to have had a negative experience with Windows to be a dishonest experience.
