I like that I don't have to update anything on Linux.
I should—and I do—but I don't have to worry that every time I walk away something else has auto-updated (or decided to stop working unless I agree to update it).
It didn't used to be such a battle just to get your PC to stop doing things for its sake rather than for yours.
Linux also doesn't quietly "queue-up" background updates that incrementally slow the machine down to the point where you have to restart it to apply the changes to free up all the garbage temp files stored just to stage Copilot updates or some such nonsense.
I booted up a 16 year old laptop the other day to use the disc drive on it. It had Linux Mint 16.04 installed on it, hasn’t been used or updated in years.
And it just worked. I got what I needed out of the disc drive without having to negotiate anything with my operating system first.
It was glorious!
I agree! Though its probably not as great with all the recent vulnerabilities being found
