I have never had problems with windows updates nor has it never rebooted on me. Dunno what the hate is for, at least windows works without knowing 79 different programming languages and having to scour through git repos from 2002 for drivers just to get a driver compiled for your headset (it wont compile because it requires a bingbong-SDK mainted by a guy from turkey who refuses to update it from 1.95v2 to more recent 1.99-6 which is incompatible with your dial-up modem)
Do you ever feel tired of having to type 55 lines of commands into the console just to open Wine to actually use your pc?
Not really because I just use the stuff. I only use the command line for very basic stuff, usually.
Linux is really nowhere near as hard as you're making it out to be, 99% of the time.
Yeah, there are times when you run into edge cases that are frustrating. Although I've had that with windows once in awhile.
I've used Mint for about 10y then ran into a situation where AMD gfx card was too new for the kernel and switched to a Fedora based distro. Which is kind of outrageous to have to do that. But that's the first time in a decade.
I try to stick to hardware that is fairly mainstream or which implements mainstream standards.
It helps a lot if you're comfortable with bash. Otherwise if you run into issues and some website gives you a bunch of commands they look like line noise.
I mean, *nix is kind of arcane. But once you know about command format, pipes, redirects, and maybe a couple dozen commands, it gets a lot better.
I learned all this stuff back in the late 80s so it is second nature to me. But it was a learning curve back then. But then, so is powershell or dos.

*3D printed arm connected to raspberry pi opens wine bottle on desk*
*glug-glug-glug*
Now I'm ready to use my pc
Hilarious joke 🙄
You've never had windows reboot on you for an update? Are you running 3.1 or something?
I've never had windows force a reboot and I don't even turn my PC off at night like the other guy does
I just tell it to schedule a time for the middle of the night and go from there
I think maybe back in the xp/vista days that happened once or twice, but not in well over a decade now
At least that works for you. I’ve never been able to get windows to respect my “active hours.” Especially on my work laptop - I work overnight, and frequently have to open up a command prompt to override the forced scheduled restart. Even though the active hours thing allows you to put in a day that starts at PM and ends at AM, something about my work day crossing over midnight apparently just makes windows shit its diaper.
Edit: Dang, fuck me for just relaying my experience. Didn’t realize we weren’t allowed to criticize the godOS.
W10. I shut down my pc every night so if it needs to have a rest it will. But I never had it reboot on me in the middle of something like I hear linuxboys fantasize about. The only thing I notice when it's got an update coming up is that the button says "update and shutdown" instead of just "shutdown".
It’s fascinating to me how much someone can fanboy/fangirl over a simple computer OS that you’ll straight up smear the facts in favor of your argument. It’s fucking software, use what you want and chill the fuck out. So windows hasn’t forced you to restart because you shut your computer down every night. A lot of people don’t do that since we may still have other processes running while we’re not at the PC. In those cases, windows absolutely will force a restart, and usually at the most inconvenient time. You don’t have that problem because you don’t need your PC to be running overnight, so you shut yours down which mitigates the forced restart issue. And you know that’s what’s happening or you wouldn’t have mentioned it. So stop arguing in bad faith and come up with an actually relevant argument if you’re still planning on being worked up over what OS strangers on the internet use.
You show that you're about 17 and have been using computers like 2 years lol
I have never needed to use my programming knowledge to use Linux nor have I had an issue with drivers. Dunno what the hate is for, at least Linux works without changing half the values in the registry to make it tolerable or having an active internet connection (it won't install the OS without making you create a Microsoft account unless you open a secret command prompt to disable the Internet requirement and lie about not having Internet so they can attach all of the information they collect on you to a profile that enables them to deliver more relevant advertisements directly to your operating system)
I'm not pro-Windows by any means, but this simply isn't true.
Yea, kinda. It forces it hard though.
There is no obvious way to skip the MS account. You can select that it is a managed device and create a local user that way, but afaik that's the last option left and obviously it is there for a very different intention.
I am sure that if MS could remove it completely they would.
You need to open a secret command prompt and type in a command. The person I was replying to is apparently deathly allergic to typing out simple commands in a terminal, so he certainly wouldn't be able to get around it.
Huh? I haven't got a microsoft account on my pc mate.
Not everyone uses windows just to play solitaire Margret.
From command line it's "sudo dnf update" for example and if you use flatpak, "flatpak update", updates everything. Or just click update in software manager.
There are programs that are not compiled/packaged by their developers and you have to do it yourself, but so are on Windows. But for OS from Microsoft noone would mention such program, because compiling on Windows is nightmare in comparason. C for example was designed for Unix-like systems. More high-level languages have less dependency installing, but still.
Nowadays people run WSL to compile programs for Windows and that says something...
EDIT: To people in responses below, don't get too engaged to something that can be trolling.
There's even an Update (technical docs) portal so apps can configure themselves to appear to self-update, without actually having to implement self-updating.

Meanwhile I had to reboot Windows four times today.
