    Oh, if we speak about “boot every day”, than Windows is notorious for changing peoples updates settings and then downloading broken updates. Linux (unless you set it up otherwise) won’t do shit if you won’t update anything over 10 years, everything will stay the same.

      The problem is that you can’t avoid updates in Linux because it’s rare that anything works out of the box, so any time something new is released, you need to dive into messing with shit that can make your system buggy or brick it all together

        I run PopOS on my gaming computer. I blanket update whatever has updates in the PopShop on a daily basis. My computer has been rock solid for going on three years. I haven’t had to mess with any settings aside from a bit of audio config (through the built in UIs, nothing in the terminal) when I first installed.

        This sentiment of “every time I update my Linux installation breaks” is like ten years out of date at least at this point.
