I think Windows 10 is hands-down the most invasive operating system, by a small landslide. Never before have I been so constantly and consistently hounded about updates, right up to the point where the OS viscerally rips the controls away from me and forces the update regardless of my preference.
Honestly, Microsoft needs to calm the fuck down...
@MariBari as someone who's worked in information technology for years and has had to clean up after countless messes made by users who just refuse to update: Cry more.
You all brought this upon yourselves. You all refused to install important system updates so that you wouldn't get owned by exploits and malware, and kept blaming it on Microsoft, so now instead of taking your medicine orally you're going to be getting it rectally.
@MariBari cry more
@MariBari @segfault Sounds like the problem here is UX design.
Microsoft wants to shove that update whether you want it or not - so they can do it without blocking your entire screen with a notification in the middle of you doing something. That part is just bad UX design.
I also find it interesting how rarely I have to reboot Linux for an update compared to Windows, so there's that.
@polychrome @MariBari the whole screen blocking part only ever happens if you neglect updating for two weeks. until then you get standard corner notifications like every other toaster.
really what the problem here is is that people want to whine and complain about anything Microsoft does
@polychrome @MariBari also I reboot my home computer maybe once a month. my work computer gets rebooted once a week, when I leave work on Friday. Linux sycophants vastly overestimate how often and how much of a pain rebooting Windows 10 is
Windows 10 Afficher plus
Windows 7 hounded me to get Windows 10, Windows 10 hounds me with constant notifications and updates that could easily just quietly pop off in the background without having to interrupt everything I'm doing in the process.
I'm a writer, and creative flow is important-- having my ENTIRE SCREEN get blocked off with a notification because I've gone a day without updating gets really, really old really, really fast. Especially when the "fast" option to dismiss the notification leads to it popping up every. single. day.
