From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It forces you to update and then works at "something something" for 5 minutes to 5 hours and then reboots and does the same thing again but after logging in, none of your applications are updated and also none of the system seems to be changed with the updates. You don't even get proper status information during updates.
Of course it doesn't destroy itself when it doesn't change anything ...
Oof this is only thing if you have the os on an HDD. I've had similar behavior on *buntu running off of an HDD.
On an sdd or nvme you'll never have stuff like this happen.
There is an argument to be made for it being better ux to not have programs update without telling you. Winget isn't perfect, but it can auto update your stuff if need be.
Windows Server 2022 supports hotpatching in Azure and on prem if hosted on Azure Stack HCI. Not sure if it's coming to Windows 11 or not.
