Ubuntu Repos: Sometimes runs out of food or accidentally spills two trays together
Fedora Repos: New plates every week
Debian Repos: Same 3 meals that are 5 star rated
Arch Repos: A machine gun that continuously fires pulverized food at your mouth
Manjaro repos: The Arch machine gun, but it keeps jamming.
LOL “every week”?!, those are rookie numbers. Fedora is the distro that finally satisfied my update fetish.
I only update Arch before installing new software, or when there’s a news item about something requiring manual intervention.
So about once a month.
Every update is basically a complete reinstall.Bro, what? You’re doing something majorly wrong if everytime you update you have to treat it as a fresh install.
No no, it just installs the new packages and everything works. Takes a minute. What I meant is, it installs new versions for basically every installed package.
I was at a Chinese restaurant on Rhodes about 15 years ago, where they served food windows update style.
We ordered off some menu written in Chinese and Greek letters and in a probably wrongly translated German too, so we had no idea of what we actually ordered. Just accepting the terms, right?
Then they started serving food.
We ate through 3 dishes and was about being full thinking this was a great deal, but then they just served another meal, and like, okay… let’s have a taste, and then it just kept coming in table servings instead of individual servings. Every time we emptied a plate theyd bring in something else. We never asked them for anything though.
A few servings in we realised how we’d misinterpreted the menu and said, ok enough is enough, and they were like “but you must have the dessert, it’s part of the price, you already paid” (we hadn’t actually paid then, but I suppose they meant"included") and so well we ate another three rounds of ice-cream, sugar-fried dumplings and fruit, to the point where I had to stand up and say “No more food! Please no more!”, and the waiter was “More food yes coming up!”. We stopped her and just stood up, throwing a bunch of money on the table according to our order and hoping it was enough. The waiter then came back with change.
Microsoft wouldn’t return your change.
Anyway… epilogue. I get it now. Chinese custom is to leave food when you’re done and an empty plate is a request for more. I was on Rhodes 2 years ago, and tried to find it again, but the restaurant seemed to be gone. There was a kebab shop instead.
Funny enough I had a very similar situation happen to me and a group of friends in Rhodes Greece, except at the end of the meal the bill came and it was exorbitantly expensive. We realized it was a scam but we were drunk and the food was really good so we payed and left.
The updates were never the issue, It was having them get in the way of what you were currently doing.
I would say I don’t remember updates bothering me as much back on Windows 7? I don’t recall them suddenly shutting down my computer when I was in the middle of a game or work, Only to fail and hold my PC hostage for half an hour…
Windows’ approach now being ‘everything is a cumulative update, lol’ is what I suspect makes it take so long for the updates to actually install now.
I’ve done massive updates on Linux, sometimes it asks me to restart when it’s done, but I’ve never been forced to, I don’t think, unless I’m updating to a whole new version of the OS.
Yeah, I only remember even being asked to reboot after kernel updates, and it isn’t forced.
Windows: 1GB of download, one bug fix or two. Linux: 20MB, total refactor or some major feature
tbh the linux updates don’t look terribly delicious either
Eh generic tex-mex rice and beans pretty good not great. Way better than it looks though.
Either way I’m getting diarrhea
Digestion issue, get a stronger stomach scrub. /s
Unironically, Lemmy’s got a real evident fiber deficiency based on how many of you vibe with bowel complaints.
I get enough fiber, my ass is still trying to kill me
