Nahh bro just use third party script then re run it every update ๐คก
That's literally what Linux updates are
Anyway if you read the article it's opt in and fully removable.
Updates in Linux are not random third party scripts you find online, why are you spreading this lie?
You go into your app store/software centre and click update. To the user, this is all they see.
If you want to feel like a hacker, or find it quicker, you can open a terminal run sudo dnf update or whatever. That's still not a random third party script, though.
Lol you're arguing like you're an expert but only providing instructions for.. what, fedora and rhel? And saying that running your package manager from the command like is to "feel like a hacker?" What a laugh. Fun fact there's a range of distros that don't have proper UIs for their package manager, and the vast majority don't use dnf.
What exactly do you think is inside of those packages? Who made those scripts? You're running those scripts as root. Is that safe?
for now
Till they change their mind again. Ms in my experience also really like to disregard your settings
Not as bad as google, but yeah they have a tendency to overstep. The only way to make settings stick is the traditional way, which is the group policy editor. Settings there usually stick for 20-30 years
Normally they'd say this and then change it again. That's pretty much how every "feature" they've added to their OS and it is becoming a little too bloaty.
They update, this third party script is to make windows less rapey
Tell me you're a young man without telling me you're a young man.
I wish haha
