    Another low-effort, inaccurate meme. A true comparison would be if you replaced the first screenshot with an image of someone clicking the update button.

    I don’t mind criticising Windows but go after the genuine reasons for moving to Linux. No spyware, no AI forced on you etc.

      The true comparison is someone getting into work at 7am to work on a project due for a meeting at 10am and two of those hours are waiting for a mandatory Windows update to install.

      I think they got rid of the mandatory updates, tho, largely because the updates were breaking the OS…

      but anyway, I think the meme might be pointing at the issue of consent.

        Not everybody feels like memorizing undiscoverable magic phrases that might not be in a language they speak.

          you will remember an entire language that has a spelling system so bad, that spelling words correctly is a BROASCASTED competition

      Then you’d also be pressed to show the same for Linux.

      The only two reasons Linux updates are represented as terminal commands are that:

      • Most distros have several DEs that come with different app managing software, so you naturally don’t have a universal “update Linux” button
      • Typing a command is simply faster

      But in principle, app stores coming with most major Linux DEs can absolutely update your system at the push of a button.

      Some distros, like Fedora, even allow you to update your UEFI straight from the app store. How’s that to you, Windows?
