    Ha! As if Ubuntu didnt update on its own and then completely killed my internet access because it changed the file system of how it stores DNS but didnt somehow do it right to the point of me spending 3 hours figuring out what file I had to recreate and why to get it working again.

    Linux is cool but not this make believe version of cool.

        Yeah. Maybe. I know I will never try arch again and I thought Ubuntu was supposed to be one of the good ones but its been so much stress.
        I dont want to have to completely redo my whole system and all the software just to try a different OS flavor

      I have no idea when it happened, but there’s a mechanism in place to download updates but only install them on reboot, kinda similar to windows, but when you want instead of when it want. It’s kinda the best of both world : updates are quick to install, downloaded in the background, and no workflow interruption.

        Ah. I have only figured out the check for updates daily, weekly or never options. I am leaning into never as this is the third time an Ubuntu update has made me want to curl up in a ball and die.

        I dont find thus constant tech support fun.
