As a Linux user, I cannot relate
As a Windows 10 user who only enabled security updates neither can I.
As a Windows user who manually updates weekly and reads changelogs for what actually changes, neither do I.
But then again I don’t leave 400,000 items open on my desktop for no reason whatsoever and get mad when I have to close them.
After switching to Linux a month ago, I can finally participate in the circle jerking:
Forced updates? Haha lol. That’s such a Windows user thing to say.

I’m here to make sure most comments here have the word “Linux” in it.
Confirmed Windows user, lol
Computers mostly don’t force software updates on you, unless you tell them to. (Caveat: IT routinely forces updates on people.) Find the setting where you specifically asked the machine to keep itself updated, and turn it off. If you can’t find it, throw the machine away and get a better one where you can be in control:-P. This concludes my sermon for today, I hope you all have some Happy Holidays!:-P
Windows by default forces updates upon you and makes itbhard to disable them. Or make them ask you for updates.
Makes sense - why allow people to administer their own machines? :-P
They do, you can opt-out if you want, but you don’t, unless you like malware. Windows is just an unsafe proprietary mess of a system. :-P
Only way to opt out or chanhe the settings to be better isby either policy edutor or registry editing, both not user frkendly.
Never said it was user friendly, just pointed out it’s an option that exists. And it’s a good thing that this isn’t user friendly tbh, you dont want to run Windows without updates, if you care that much, just use Linux.
I thought some of the older ones, like 2000, were more secure, with ability to access on-chip security features. So ofc they threw all that out in favor of 10, the final OS that would come as a subscription service, meaning that you’d never need to buy one again. And then they threw that out too, in favor of the next one… and on and on it goes:-P.
I absolutely hate Windows:-(.
I use linux, but can somewhat relate because i have a weird AM5 motherboard that shows 0-4 minutes of “DRAM ERROR” before posting
I’m pretty sure that’s a bios option. Your ram is retraining for maximum overclock. Turn it off. Live with the 1% slower performance.
Hate to break it to you, but no. I turned every option regarding cpu or ram overclocking off and it still won’t post stable. Doesn’t matter, i am a cs phd, so i pretty much start the system in the morning and shut it down before i go to bed, this way i just have to start it before getting coffee :)
As a Windows user, I can’t relate lol I don’t have this happen to me
Seriously, does anyone know about the update settings? It’s not hard to make Win10 not try to update while you’re using it.
And at least since Win 10 the updates take maybe 5 minutes unless you have held them off for months.
Confused in linux?
linux user be like: loser
Something something Linux user, btw
I might be a Linux user but Nvidia makes sure it takes forever to boot when there’s a new update. Fuck you Nvidia
