You dont own something unless you install linux on it
this can be easily remedied by killing all of humanity except yourself
Are you telling me Linux doesn't have automatic updates?
It does not. No normal Linux distro installs updates without user consent. You can turn that feature on though if you like.
Sure it does, if you turn them on. Here's the relevant screen in Linux Mint Cinnamon.
Do note the bright orange warning!
Yep, because the feature is unnecessary when the updates are lightning fast and unobtrusive, but automatically changing things can cause issues too.
I'm using linux mint, which is beginner friendly. It doesn't have automatic updates as default.
