For those who don't remember the original of this was an ancient meme:

https://images1.memedroid.com/images/UPLOADED6/5002dd114f5cd.jpeg

Edit:

Just how old this meme is: OSX 10.9 mavericks was the first free mac update, it was released in 2013. The meme should be created before that. Iirc Windows 7 was the first win with forced and annoying updates, it was released in 2009. So this meme should be from that era, 11-15 years old.

Edit2:

I found the original post, my calculations were correct, this is from 2011: https://www.stickycomics.com/computer-update/

I use linux and I'm in the Not Again boat. Seems like everytime I update, something goes wrong

[-] infeeeee@lemm.ee 36 points 4 months ago

Use debian oldstable, usually 1-2 security updates each months, nothing else. If you need a newer app, install it as flatpak, they can't bork your system.

[-] kspatlas@lemm.ee 9 points 4 months ago

Stable is already ancient enough, but willingly running oldstable? I hope you've got a shovel ready

The comments on the original post are... interesting...

DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS

[-] colderr@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

Just kidding. I suck cocks too! :D

[-] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 months ago

You’re right, I suck cock and I love it. I have never felt so understood until now. Disregard my prior comments. Go ~~Windows!~~

I thought I had a virus when I got a pop-up about Ubuntu pro. I thought all linux was free and there's no way I'd be getting ass for features I don't have

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 4 months ago

no way I'd be getting ass for features I don't have

Not with that attitude

[-] vox_shit_alt@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Ubuntu pro is completely free for non-commercial users tho

What are the distros that would align with these categories?

Cool, more free stuff:

Not again!

Ooh, only Ubuntu pro:

  • Ubuntu
[-] KISSmyOSFeddit@lemmy.world 48 points 4 months ago

1st: Fedora
2nd: Arch

Debian would be: "nothing changed!" (with a sad or happy guy depending on use case)

[-] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 43 points 4 months ago

With Debian it's more like "cool, everything still works as expected."

Source: I don't use Arch btw.

Your arch system would probably have updates unless you just updated within the last few minutes. Being suprised seems a bit unnecessary.

If you're on Arch, then you want those tasty hourly updates om nom nom

source: I use Arch btw

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

All I wanna do is sudo pacman -Syu

I don't think the first two are distro specific, more a question of mindset. Unless there are distros that force update your system like some other OSs, which could cause the second picture to happen more often.

[-] GravitySpoiled@lemmy.ml 15 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

On fedora atomic all updates are automatic. I don't even see that they happen. They just happen in the background. I love it.

[-] mlg@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

The first could be any decent distro like Debian, Fedora, Mint.

The second would probably be rolling release because of the amount of packages lmao.

sudo pacman -Syu Cool, more free stuff! Fresh as a morning breeze.

[-] loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 4 months ago

Running rm -rf / afterwards because of minimalism

Make all the mistakes you want to. There's a lesson under every leaf in this world.

(probably the most downvoted post i've made yet on lemmy πŸ˜‚)

[-] vox_shit_alt@sh.itjust.works 27 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Ubuntu pro is free to enable btw
unless you're using ub server for commercial purposes, then you're breaking the agreement

You mean a free Ubuntu pro account for personal use?

[-] lurch@sh.itjust.works 14 points 4 months ago

b-but that requires signing up. too much effort πŸ˜…

[-] Waffelson@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

I think it looks like Microsoft is requesting a ms account to use/install Windows, I think it's weird to request registration for non-commercial users

I'm an annoyed fedora user and it seems every day there's an update that requires reboot to install. I want the latest patches to keep the system secure, but this is annoying, and I use 2 laptops.

[-] kopasz7@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

sudo dnf up

Works for me.

You can change that in system settings on KDE

System settings -> Software Update -> Apply system updates immediately

Not sure if it's the same on GNOME

What does Ubuntu Pro get you besides extended support after the normal OS EOL?

[-] Successful_Try543@feddit.de 16 points 4 months ago

Access to "real time" kernel which is useful for drones etc.

Fedora/Arch/Ubuntu

[-] ayaya@lemdro.id 7 points 4 months ago

Obviously you've never used Arch btw. We live for the sudo pacman -Syu.

[-] snekmuffin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

there is something very satisfying about running pacman -Syu at the end of the day and watching it update the repos, give you a neat list of packages to be upgraded, then see them downloading over all your threads with that little chomp chomp pacman animation, disappearing one by one, or a bunch at once, and then at the end it runs the hooks and you see that [1/23] fill up all the way to [23/23] in the span of a minute...

It's like popping bubble wrap, but you have 8 hands and 8 bubble sheets and never try to pop the tame bubble twice
