    I never had a negative experience with Windows Updates

    It just puts a notification in my taskbar but can be easily dismissable

      For me it’s more like “WTF are they going to break this time?”

      Seems mostly a vehicle for MS to try and force new products onto people who wouldn’t download them if they had a choice.

        For me it was a mix of that, plus “great, so you’re going to close everything maybe was using, sometimes restart some of it, and everything is going to be on the wrong screen and virtual desktop. Now that I’ve spent several minutes getting back to where I was yesterday, let’s see what garbage I don’t want that you’ve added”

        Linux has its own inconveniences, but I don’t regret the switch… It gets better every day while windows gets worse

        For me, it’s mainly “why tf is my old ass laptop suddenly chugging harder than a 40yo chain smoker?”

        I had one back in the vista days (I had the pro version it wasn’t totally terrible) that bricked my laptop and I had to do a clean install from bios to get it working again. That was fun.
