MODERATORS
An update for this comic is available:
The Mac one could be a lot more realistic:
"Mac OS Yellowstone is available for your Mac, and will update tonight."
"Mac OS did not update last night because you left some windows open."
"Mac OS will update tonight, but you must enter your fingerprint and password to make it happen."
"Mac OS did not update last night because you didn't enter your password again at 2AM and we weren't sure if you really meant it"
You're right; also realistic would be the Mac user who simply refuses to reboot their Mac at any time ever.
Depends on distro, snapshotting and if it's a immutable distro.
Though Windows users should be worrying more, they don't have backups and have silently activated bitlocker but ignorance of that is bliss.
Mac user don't have to worry in my experience.
Very true. I switched to Fedora Atomic Budgie recently, and I haven't looked back. Windows and Mac users do get some limited cloud storage to back up their personal data for free, but they have to set it up and accept MS and Apple's EULAs which is a whole ball of snakes on its own.
Rstrui - sorry no snapshots.
One of the Top Ten betrayals!
Linux update is more like… “uh oh, please don’t break anything, I just got my graphics drivers working last week.”
This take is based on a true story.
That is the same with nvidia drivers on windows nowadays. They keep pushing updates that just break shit.

TBH, I say "Not again!" on Linux if it's a kernel update, because it means I'll have to reboot.
Sounds like Arch that seems to me to update the kernel every week.
I say "Not again" on Linux too if it's a kernel update because anything newer than 6.10 means that sleep is broken again and I have to roll back to 6.10.
Also Linux: oh good. Maybe it’ll fix this issue so I don’t have to lol
The current mainline kernel hangs on my laptop when the system goes to screen off idle.
It does this on all laptops. I have three, of different brands, and they're all affected. This issue comes and goes with updates.
all? well not on mine, using a dell inspirion 15 3520, with dsbian unstable
I have this issue on a Thinkpad X13, an Asus TUF15 and a 15 year old Clevo shitbox. It happens every single time on the Asus, but randomly on the others.
Does anyone else have the issue that after 6.10 the laptop can't wake after sleep?
I had this issue when using hybrid sleep or sleep then hibernate, normal sleep works just fine
macOS updates haven't cost money since 2009
Except they are tied to hardware so eventually you get no updates at all
