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.

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.
