    Ah, yes, the feature to update the operating system that is by default enabled but is able to be disabled completely.

    If a *nix user can’t figure out how to disable automatic updates, it’s on them.

      I have never touched this setting and never had unexpected updates occur. This ‘Windows force update hur-dur’ circlejerk is baffling and tiring.

      AFAIK Windows will only “force” the update when you keep skipping them for long periods of time + I’m pretty sure Linux tards keep their OS updated, not sure why they can’t do the same with Windows.

      Yeah this always baffled me; I love Linux and use it as a core for all my projects (containerized and VM), but disabling updates on windows takes about two minutes to open run > gpedit.msc > set auto updates to false

      Are people really able to configure full Linux boxes to their liking but struggle to tick one box?
