    You do realize that it’s common for Desktop Linux users to not update because it’s more prone to breakage than Windows right?

      As opposed to forcing updates that break basic functionality?

      Anyway, it’s certainly not common to do no upgrading, just not mindlessly pushing every single new release when you don’t need it (ie, not a major security fix or something). Which is a good thing if you value stability in your system, no matter what software you’re running. The ones dealing with the BitLocker locked company laptops right now after the last Windows update kerfuffle could probably tell you all about it. It’s a lesson hard won by neophyte system admins.

        What OS is forcing updates? -Not Windows. Desktop Linux users are so self-blinding that they ignore the main reason that they end up distro-hopping. (The never ending ‘your my fault you I chose the wrong distro’ excuse.)

      No?

      And also, Linux package mamagers don’t just stop doing anything, because you’ve removed some speech dispatcher package.
