Like Linux for example. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago Updates on Linux are painless, I install them and keep working, and even when it's done, I save and reboot, then back to work. I can even check what services were impacted and restart those instead of rebooting. I don't underhand why Windows and macOS overcomplicate things. I run a rolling release distribution (Tumbleweed) and things have been smooth for years. But even release based distributions are way simpler to upgrade than either Windows or macOS. permalink fedilink source parent
