“We increase the disk/ram consumption, reinstalled edge for you (you can’t scape) and added a few ads somewhere. Have fun!”
I’ve never had issues with windows not honoring settings after an update.
Then you are incredibly lucky.
I use it daily too. So I guess I am extremely lucky or just comfortable with the defaults.
More probable is that you actually have knowledge about Windows that isn’t 15 years old like the majority of Linux fanboys on here.
Yeah I’m finding out that lemmy attracts a specific type of person. That sort of person seems to use Linux over Windows.
Linux updates: here’s the whole new desktop, GUI, appstore, start menu analog, and you can now summon a demon to do your bidding (no gui yet, you have to use the terminal until next update)
Linux update: Changes little number in neofetch
also breaks every possible driver
but hey, you can do them without a full restart most of the time :)
you can now summon a
demondaemon to do your bidding
The new update was candy crush! You uninstalled it before, but we think you were mistaken.
1 small security fix and 10 more spying software
Only 10? They’re being gentle this time.
What major feature is bring removed next update?
They lubed us up first.
More surveillance and telemetry 😊
There was actually a pretty big security problem in libwebp recently that likely led to some updates. Trust me, you’d want that patched.
“performance and stability improvements” 🙄
Ah yes, the usual “we won’t tell you”.
The update isn’t important. Being under the Totally Trustworthy™ umbrella of Microsoft is what’s important. You don’t need to see behind the curtain.
Honestly, that what businesses want because it checks off a box in their cyber insurance application. They don’t care as long as their ass is covered.
You can read the patch notes if you want to see what’s in the update just like linux.

new ad rotations
new obscure BSOD for the most lucky fellas
I run insider so I get GSODs… sucka
Nah some notes most people could ignore would be nice. I have no idea what that machine is doing half the time but it’s certainly nothing positive.
big Sept 26 Windows 11 update, does not have Taskbar never compress option. So sad, the only thing I want is still missing.
In completely puzzled, why would they not have that feature? Also why is everything centered in the middle of the task bar now by default? Microsoft sure makes weird UI decisions.
The only reason I click on "what's new" is to get rid of the notification. There are exactly two programs where I care and I appreciate all the other programs shutting up.
New telemetry and advertising pop-ups.
Do a diff, find all the one days!
Windows: Runs update 20+ minutes on shutdown and 20+ minutes on next startup, requiring multiple reboots: nothing has changed.
Linux: Runs update for 5-10 minutes when you want it to update, changes basically the whole OS and adds a metric shit-ton of features and doesn’t even care if you reboot or not.
Longest update for me was ~5 minutes in W10, mostly new definitions for the Defender and security patches. You can consult the property of the updates in the M$ page and also undo the last update, if you want. Memes of Windows are nice, but this one was valid 15 years ago, back then it was true that you could die in an update, but not now.
On powerful PC’s, yeah, my home PC is a rather powerful one and it would take me around a couple minutes to update.
However, I remember two years ago having to use Windows 10 on a school PC (which was a crappy thinkpad) and it took around 1.5 hours to update after I did the mistake of arriving too early and deciding to update the laptop as “might as well, got nothing better to do”, then not being able to do anything for 1 hour.
Though admittedly, the laptop wasn’t updated for a while (guessing around half a year?) so it probably was catching up to updates.
Idk, it still takes Windows 10 much longer than I’d expect on my system. I wish it only took 5 minutes
First World problems
“This more complex OS takes 3 more minutes to update completely, oh the horror!”
