Comment on My petty gripe: forced software updates just make everything worse
octopus_ink@slrpnk.net 5 days agoNo one remembers how vulnerable windows server and windows desktop OS’s were before they revamped updates?
I remember how much it sucked when ignorant users ignored updates forever and MS didn’t really seem to give much of a shit about security anyway, yes.
MS is a great choice if you want to borrow a computer that someone else controls. Less so if you want a computer that is actually yours.

For most people it won’t matter, they just want something that works.

Thanks, been reading those words from various commenters in a browser window on my Linux desktop for longer than some people at Lemmy have probably been alive. But it’s always nice to hear familiar phrases again.
