The problem with Windows Updates is that they force new 'features' on you along with the patches.

With Linux you get to choose how bleeding edge you want to be, and can generally avoid the monetization crap.

    There is some enterprise stuff that charges out the ass, IIRC, but I think your comment speaks for itself regarding the home user.

    Ubtuntu Desktop definitely tries to push a few things but it's not even remotely as bad as Windows.

    I prefer to live without my software nudging me to do anything.

    How would you feel if your hammer stopped working after a while and each new hammer suddenly looked a lot more like a screwdriver because the company wants to sell you screws?
