It’s clear why many Windows users won’t switch to Linux, when people show them they’d need to use strange IT tools to use it. While, annoying, Windows doesnt need you to be an IT nerd. Linux doesn’t either, but to people outside of the Linux bubble, this is how it gets presented. That Windows update sure looks easier than some manual hack.
apt is NOT a manual hack
Then windows says “Undoing Changes” because its shit software doesn’t work
sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm
Then you don’t even have to worry about what happens when an evil monkey unplugs your computer in the middle of an update.
Apt-get is unnecessary nowadays, just use apt, especially for simple commands like this.
So Debian/Ubuntu still can’t into auto update?
topgradeYay
paru
pacman “See you”
Ew
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && flatpak update -y
You misspelled
pacman -SyuNo, you misspelled
zypper dup. But with enough time, you’ll get there.That’s a corporate propaganda that I can’t stand for
Take my angry upvote

The only true answer
“why won’t the screen turn on?”
Why is the screen black after the login screen for multiple minutes, after which it continues to function as expected and shows the DE like everything is fine??
dnf updateapt has the added irk of being split into update/upgrade plus apt-get for scripts.
And the default apt search sucks lol
Lol, apt changes your system in place and is pretty likely to break it.
Atomic upgrades are fast and reliable.
But windows updates break FAR less than a messy package based distro does, especially if you actually have package changes (i.e. not a stable distro, or a version upgrade)
boiling water burns me but I still use it to cook
Another low-effort, inaccurate meme. A true comparison would be if you replaced the first screenshot with an image of someone clicking the update button.
I don’t mind criticising Windows but go after the genuine reasons for moving to Linux. No spyware, no AI forced on you etc.
The true comparison is someone getting into work at 7am to work on a project due for a meeting at 10am and two of those hours are waiting for a mandatory Windows update to install.
I think they got rid of the mandatory updates, tho, largely because the updates were breaking the OS…
but anyway, I think the meme might be pointing at the issue of consent.
why cant people type anymore?
Not everybody feels like memorizing undiscoverable magic phrases that might not be in a language they speak.
