My work laptop allows me a view into the dystopian Windows future, including updates as you've described as well as the occasional update and reboot in the middle of doing actual work - yes, I know it should not happen like that, but reality doesn't seem to care for _should_ or _should not_. Just a rare as it is inexplicable.


Meanwhile if a Linux distro wants to update, it politely asks you, and then goes away again when you say no ^^
