That is sooo much hassle just to install a plain update. At what point does it become enough of a distraction for people to abandon windows?

- dylan604 3y agoBased on the sheer number of users, never. Let's apply a bit of logic similar to the Drake Equation. In the total number of Windows installs, how many of them have users that are even aware of any of this? of that number, how many of them are technically savvy enough to care? of that number, how many of them take the time to do anything about? of that number, how many of them do not read this forum?

Or, alternatively, at what point does it become enough of a distraction for people to abandon automatic updates, or updating software in general? After all, if you don't update, you won't have to suffer any of these distractions (or, at least, any new distractions). For us, it might be easy to say "just switch to an alternate operating system", but keeping the same operating system and blocking all updates can be less hassle for a lot of people.
- disqard 3y agoIt recently passed that point for me, and I've moved my Win10 computers to Linux (Ubuntu for now).
- hereme888 3y agoI've tried several times to actually move to a Linux distro, whether Ubuntu, Pop_OS, Mint, even Zorin. I found none that have the same quality of graphics crispiness (for my 4K laptop screen) and "snappiness". Windows still seems to work better overall than my experience with Linux. And also the drivers and apps (like browsers) in Windows seem more stable.
- hereme888 3y agoYes, it's ridiculous. It's more of an OCD hobby for me, where I experience satisfaction "fighting" Microsoft every time I delete their garbage.
