You mean every OS these days with a SSD?

Working on update: 100% complete. Don’t turn off your PC. This will take a while. Your PC will restart several times. All your files are exactly where you left them ;)

Windows drives me mad with this stuff any time I have to use it.

I'm baffled by people still claiming "desktop Linux hasn't arrived" when they put up with this shit.

Except literally today I wanted to do a quick reboot of Ubuntu and I was stuck staring at "unattended-upgrade in progress during shutdown, please don't turn off the computer" for 30 minutes with no warning nor any indication of how long it would take. That managed to be far more infuriating than windows ever has with all of its update shenanigans.

Why would you enable unattended upgrades on a desktop computer (as opposed to a server)? Is this something Ubuntu enforces?

If you don't enable this feature (which isn't enabled by default in Debian) you won't have this problem.

It was enabled by default in the standard desktop install (I didn't really customize anything I'm not a heavy user of desktop Linux). Of course I'll be disabling it next time I boot that partition. Point being Linux isn't immune to this type of annoyance.

>>turtle+nq
As far as I know it is only Ubuntu that does anything similar.

I haven't ever run into that in 8 years of running a various GNU/Linux distros (MeeGo, Elementary OS, Maemo, Sailfish OS, Debian)... though I've never run Ubuntu.
