Microsoft: "My PC"
(i.imgur.com)
Windows is too self-important. Daddy, chill.
As sucky as modern Windows is, all you have to do to avoid this bullshit is to shut down the pc at night or whenever you're not using it. That being said, half the time Windows updates, it tries to sucker me into subbing for Microshart 365.
My only windows is force upon me as my work laptop. I sadly actually work for Microsoft. I literally only use it to SSH to my virtual machine running redhat.
Microsoft really enjoys forcing updates at the worst time when their employees are trying to work. Sometimes it literally just makes me stop working for that day. Their loss.
Doing what, working on Azure? Also why not just run Linux locally?
Not even that. Go into Task Scheduler and disable the "Update Orchestrator" task. Problem solved.
happy atomic distro noises
To be fair, Linux has not been especially awesome at suspended/hibernate/resume, historically.
This would have to be enabled on the Motherboard or something because Hibernate is essentially a shutdown with the RAM saved into the Hard Drive, unless they've changed that.

I started down the Linux route over the weekend and put my computer in hibernation and couldn't figure out how to wake it up from its torpor without restarting. So I'm going with suspension for the time being

My PC meaning "My" PC
"My" in My PC means "Microsoft's". All the Windows PCs in this world are all their's.
