Linux Update does not own my machine
,----[ Quote ]
| Care to guess what happened after I clicked "Shut Down"? My Linux system
| actually let me shut down. Like, right then. None of this "let me install a
| few updates before you really get to shut down your system", like in Windows.
| I wasn't held hostage by an update process that insisted on owning my machine
| for another hour. The system just shut down, normally.
|
| Linux "System Update" was done when it said it was done. That is how modern
| systems are supposed to work!
