From the article: 'So I went to install the same Windows update on a laptop, which actually resulted in it failing and me having to do a system restore. Once the system restore...'
Who needs to continue reading the article before realizing the malware is Windows itself?
So either Linux has effortless, painless updates that never breaks, or Linux is malware.
Which one is it?
When everything is malware, nothing is.
🥸one can argue that only most distros are malware under this definition
The difference may be Windows forces to update, while i.e. Ubuntu has several older versions still working.
No it doesn't, unless you have it set that way.
I love Linux but most complaints about Windows is just lack of user knowledge and getting mad that it doesn't work like Linux.
Windows updates anyways after several restarts choosing not to. I guess it's some kind of default setting that may be set off too.
What about importing tabs without consent? Is that also lack of user knowledge? Even when it was turned off in settings?
