1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    The updates were never the issue, It was having them get in the way of what you were currently doing.

    I would say I don't remember updates bothering me as much back on Windows 7? I don't recall them suddenly shutting down my computer when I was in the middle of a game or work, Only to fail and hold my PC hostage for half an hour..

    Windows' approach now being 'everything is a cumulative update, lol' is what I suspect makes it take so long for the updates to actually install now.

    I've done massive updates on Linux, sometimes it asks me to restart when it's done, but I've never been forced to, I don't think, unless I'm updating to a whole new version of the OS.

    Yeah, I only remember even being asked to reboot after kernel updates, and it isn't forced.

    Make sure the "Get the latest updates as soon as they're available" is off. I think it's off by default. That setting will reboot your computer no matter what as soon as the update is done installing.
