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

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/

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.

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

Arch. Just updated a few days ago, got some java conflict stuff. Jdm jre or some kind of error. Had to read what people online did to fix that.

Edit: lmao why am I being downvoted?

Well, now they just make you throw out the old Mac hardware and buy new for $1299 (8gb RAM lol) because it’s now out of support for the latest MacOS and the newest versions of Adobe Suite/MS Office/insert productivity work related proprietary software suite here is on board with Apple’s bullshit and won’t run on older MacOS versions.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I tried to install Win 10 in a VM recently and it spend hours updating after installing from the ISO. Also you have to turn off the internet to not create a Microsoft account? What a pain it is now.

There are newer releases, obviously if you download an older build of windows, you have to download and install each updates manually. It’s not a win only thing, it’s the same with every os, e.g. download Ubuntu 16.10, it will take a while to upgrade to the current version. Windows 10 was released in 2015, I don’t know which release you downloaded.

About the account, the answer is OOBE\BYPASSNRO

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

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

I sometimes update out of habit almost immediately after I updated. That’s always a little disappointing.

Not being able to Syu every 5 minutes and only being able to update once a day was the biggest challenge when I changed to NixOS

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.

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

Neat! I was just thinking, if it starts updating the kernel as you turn it off, you’d have to wait a minute for it to finish. M$ style. Has that never happened?

If Fedora plays nice this time around, I’m seriously considering Kinninte and Atomic Budgie for 41. (But Fedora always ends badly for me)

How are you getting it to do that? Fedora wants to reboot every day for me, even for the simplest update.

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.

I was thinking that the user intentionally chose their distro, because of the Ubuntu character.

Cool, more free stuff

Arch, you want more free stuff faster

Not again!

Debian, you want to set and forget, so any updates that do come up are still a nuisance
