From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Useful, but still it kinda makes you read through all the update news, which is...why?

I'd like to just hit update and not bother.

Then you're on your own. What the duck 🦆 do you expect to happen if you can't even invest the 10sec to skim over a message (in the few events that there even is one) to see if it affects you and any manual intervention is required.

A fully functional system, just like any other normal OS?

You hit update - boom - you get one, seamlessly, with no breakages and no other user interaction. And that's how it works pretty much everywhere - except, you know, Arch.

If you're fine with it - that's fine, go ahead and tinker all you like. But don't expect others to have the same priorities.

Yeah just like the FORCED Microsoft updates that broke like hundreds of businesses?
