Comment on Sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that! PCs refuse to shut down after Microsoft patch

While RPis with Raspberry OS can be a decent desktop replacement in a pinch (I’ve done it), it’s more intended for learning and experimentation.
If you’re intending to use it as your primary computer, I’d recommend using Ubuntu or Fedora. And running the OS on an USB3 external solid state drive.

Fair, but why not enable updates by default? Not doing so seems like a disservice to the internet community.

It’s kinda an ethos thing that goes way back, and Microsoft keeps giving us examples of why it can be a bad idea. Essentially, it boils down to the idea that YOU should be in control of what your system is doing.
Most distros can (including Raspberry OS), and many of them will check for updates automatically, but none that I can think of will install updates automatically unless you purposefully choose to enable that function.

Disagree when it comes to security patches.

Their purpose is to be used as a base to build your own system, not something for someone to use as-is out of the box.
