    Bruh, forced updates are a different fucked-up thing I’m not even talking about right now. (OS devs shouldn’t be concerned about whether or not they can trust their users. Users should be concerned whether or not they can trust their OS devs.)

    What I’m talking about is being able to update silently in the background while you’re still using your computer. And if the updates need a restart to apply, that restart only takes as long as a normal reboot – you don’t have to sit around for 45 minutes looking at a blank ‘applying updates, don’t shut off your PC’ screen and unable to do anything.

    Even if some Linux distro started having forced updates because they couldn’t trust their users to update, it still wouldn’t be as bad because the updates don’t interrupt your work nearly as much.
