Discussion on: Linux is a bigger threat to windows than you think

I mostly use Linux, but have a separate machine for Windows 10 for a handful of games. I don't like the notification system, i don't like the nagging for reboots or the reboots themselves, updates on sitting down then finishes the update on boot! On Linux updates are far less intrusive.

Yeah, your right on updates. To my benefit, on Linux I sudo apt update multiple times a day..lol, especialy on arch, I would update all the time. I enjoyed it.

So though updates take much more time on Windows, at least mine are planned. I have never had a surprise update so far. When I get up in the morning and goto my machine I usually check..lol.

I think the notification system on most everything blows. I survive off peaking at the system tray..mainly only for slack.
