I mean.
You don’t have to update every day. Or whatever.
My system is set to check for updates only once a month, because the rest of the time I want to be using it.

I actually like it
I’m actually encouraged to update often because if I don’t, the updates keep accumulating and I end up with 200+ apps and dependencies that require such updates. Not that I’m affected or anything, I don’t even need to re-start my machine, and pacman works in the background. So, It’s been a positive experience over all. So yay! Updates!

Fedora isn’t any better. 10-40 Packages every day.

i mean you still update on your command, its just that you update all the stuff at once, and theres virtually almost always an update at a given time.

Yeah and also you can just kinda do it in the background without much concern about it eating all your CPU or taking forever like Windows Updates does.
Also won’t take several minutes when you shutdown to do the “Preparing Updates… Don’t shut off your PC” like Windows.

What kind of 2005 toaster are you running where Windows update eats up your CPU or takes minutes to shut down?
Even my 10 year old PC doesn’t do that.

Our servers do, my work laptop does, my old home laptop does, my home PCs do, … I guess it must be the updates and not the device.
