As a user, I hate when an OS gets in my way. Or insists that there is one right way to do something.
As the tech support guy in my family, I'm grateful that windows denies permission, has big guard rails, and forces you to do updates.
Bruh. For how many years did Windows make every luddite, child, and grandparent default Administrator with full, unprompted access to install viruses, run scripts, and delete system files?
Isn't that still the case with Linux now?
Just add sudo to your commands
Nah. Fuck forced updates. Only time I'm forced to use windows is for work.
I have to play the "low battery" game when it starts notifying me during work. Unplugging and repowering the laptop right below 10% so it won't restart and disconnect my VM and SSH sessions I'm using for work.
I don't care what anyone says. Updates that can't have a forever "give me 1 more hour" indefinitely are just going to destroy work.
Suddenly restarting in the middle of someone working is just awful design. I don't care how many "warnings" there are.
I'm connected to a remote session and doing work. If you restart my computer I could lose my work. The OS is not some self contained thing you can always save the state in.
For SSH, assuming that the remote system is Linux, run
tmuxon the remote system and do your work in that. If your SSH session gets killed off, you just ssh in andtmux attachto your old session.I suppose immutable systems are ment to stop the end user from bugging out the system but even regular Linux distrios need to assume that there users are incompetent cus I am.
I managed to destroy my immutable linux install by resizing the OS partition while it was running.
