For those who don't remember the original of this was an ancient meme:

https://images1.memedroid.com/images/UPLOADED6/5002dd114f5cd.jpeg

Edit:

Just how old this meme is: OSX 10.9 mavericks was the first free mac update, it was released in 2013. The meme should be created before that. Iirc Windows 7 was the first win with forced and annoying updates, it was released in 2009. So this meme should be from that era, 11-15 years old.

Edit2:

I found the original post, my calculations were correct, this is from 2011: https://www.stickycomics.com/computer-update/

I use linux and I'm in the Not Again boat. Seems like everytime I update, something goes wrong

[-] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago

Use debian oldstable, usually 1-2 security updates each months, nothing else. If you need a newer app, install it as flatpak, they can't bork your system.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Stable is already ancient enough, but willingly running oldstable? I hope you've got a shovel ready

I thought I had a virus when I got a pop-up about Ubuntu pro. I thought all linux was free and there's no way I'd be getting ass for features I don't have

[-] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago

no way I'd be getting ass for features I don't have

Not with that attitude

Ubuntu pro is completely free for non-commercial users tho

What are the distros that would align with these categories?

Cool, more free stuff:

Not again!

Ooh, only Ubuntu pro:

  • Ubuntu

1st: Fedora
2nd: Arch

Debian would be: "nothing changed!" (with a sad or happy guy depending on use case)

[-] [email protected] 44 points 1 year ago

With Debian it's more like "cool, everything still works as expected."

Source: I don't use Arch btw.

Your arch system would probably have updates unless you just updated within the last few minutes. Being suprised seems a bit unnecessary.

If you're on Arch, then you want those tasty hourly updates om nom nom

I don't think the first two are distro specific, more a question of mindset. Unless there are distros that force update your system like some other OSs, which could cause the second picture to happen more often.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

On fedora atomic all updates are automatic. I don't even see that they happen. They just happen in the background. I love it.

The first could be any decent distro like Debian, Fedora, Mint.

The second would probably be rolling release because of the amount of packages lmao.

sudo pacman -Syu Cool, more free stuff! Fresh as a morning breeze.

Ubuntu pro is free to enable btw
unless you're using ub server for commercial purposes, then you're breaking the agreement

You mean a free Ubuntu pro account for personal use?

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

b-but that requires signing up. too much effort πŸ˜…

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I think it looks like Microsoft is requesting a ms account to use/install Windows, I think it's weird to request registration for non-commercial users

What does Ubuntu Pro get you besides extended support after the normal OS EOL?

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Access to "real time" kernel which is useful for drones etc.

I'm an annoyed fedora user and it seems every day there's an update that requires reboot to install. I want the latest patches to keep the system secure, but this is annoying, and I use 2 laptops.

You can change that in system settings on KDE

System settings -> Software Update -> Apply system updates immediately

Not sure if it's the same on GNOME

Obviously you've never used Arch btw. We live for the sudo pacman -Syu.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

there is something very satisfying about running pacman -Syu at the end of the day and watching it update the repos, give you a neat list of packages to be upgraded, then see them downloading over all your threads with that little chomp chomp pacman animation, disappearing one by one, or a bunch at once, and then at the end it runs the hooks and you see that [1/23] fill up all the way to [23/23] in the span of a minute...

It's like popping bubble wrap, but you have 8 hands and 8 bubble sheets and never try to pop the tame bubble twice
