Unfortunately, some distros have the auto-update option in the software center enabled by default. So if you don’t explicitly disable that, Linux distros will update on the predefined schedules without additional confirmation.
But you can still choose when to reboot, in case it is required to apply all changes.
it is usually not a great idea to not get updates on Windows however deferring them until later is usually not a bad idea and depending on your risk scenario updates may or may not I’ll be all that necessary. however from a cyber security standpoint not updating Windows is moronic.
…seems like a bad idea
Linux literally won’t update unless I told it to so this is basically the same

Only if you never update at all. You can still update manually on your schedule, and control when the reboot happens.
I don’t think most people will remember to check for updates unless the computer reminds them
