wait, it's all written down somewhere....

"We increase the disk/ram consumption, reinstalled edge for you (you can't scape) and added a few ads somewhere. Have fun!"

Linux updates: here's the whole new desktop, GUI, appstore, start menu analog, and you can now summon a demon to do your bidding (no gui yet, you have to use the terminal until next update)

The new update was candy crush! You uninstalled it before, but we think you were mistaken.

1 small security fix and 10 more spying software

It just wanted to try to trick you into making edge your default browser and setting up a Microsoft account again

There was actually a pretty big security problem in libwebp recently that likely led to some updates. Trust me, you'd want that patched.

More surveillance and telemetry 😊

Windows: Runs update 20+ minutes on shutdown and 20+ minutes on next startup, requiring multiple reboots: nothing has changed.

Linux: Runs update for 5-10 minutes when you want it to update, changes basically the whole OS and adds a metric shit-ton of features and doesn't even care if you reboot or not.

"performance and stability improvements" 🙄

Right click the update icon, select whatever option takesyou to the settings screen, on the right-hand side you'll find a link for changes in each update. It's not transparent, but it is available.

The only thing that I can tell happens every update is that I have to tell my start bar, yet again, to show all program icons instead of hiding them. Individually. Oh, and Skype occasionally decides it's important at startup again.

Almost forgot! My computer also randomly forgets how to sleep until updated.

The update isn't important. Being under the Totally Trustworthy™ umbrella of Microsoft is what's important. You don't need to see behind the curtain.

New telemetry and advertising pop-ups.

It just reinstalled Edge, put a shortcut for it on your desktop and start menu, made it your default browser and migrated all your cookies and login info to Edge (for ad and tracking purposes) before uninstalling said browsers.

No big deal, bro

You can read the patch notes if you want to see what's in the update just like linux.

Permanently Deleted

More like "what broke?"

Can I interest you in Linux?

big Sept 26 Windows 11 update, does not have Taskbar never compress option. So sad, the only thing I want is still missing.

The only reason I click on "what's new" is to get rid of the notification. There are exactly two programs where I care and I appreciate all the other programs shutting up.
