Comment on The Windows 11 problem
Zeth0s@lemmy.world 1 year agoMost distro nowadays come with a gui to update. A pop up windows appears asking if you want to upgrade. You can press “yes” and the password of the sudoer or admin user is asked.
Is it different for your distro?
Yes, probably because I stick with Arch and Slackware plus a lightweight environment. The only time I saw such a GUI was when I tried out Elementary just for fun.
What I consider a problem is that the user can simply dismiss or disregard the updates notification indefinitely. I know many non-tech-savvy people who do not understand the importance of updates, so they would be inclined to do exactly that. That is why unattended upgrades are probably a better option in such cases.
The process is so simple that there is no reason to not do it. My wife is non-tech person, I installed ubuntu on her laptop and she’s very happy because it’s faster than windows. I have never updated it for her. She does it. Only thing I have done is the upgrade of the version
