Are you telling me Linux doesn't have automatic updates?

[–] mholiv@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

It does not. No normal Linux distro installs updates without user consent. You can turn that feature on though if you like.

I'm using linux mint, which is beginner friendly. It doesn't have automatic updates as default.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sure it does, if you turn them on. Here's the relevant screen in Linux Mint Cinnamon.

Do note the bright orange warning!

[–] Zink@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

Yep, because the feature is unnecessary when the updates are lightning fast and unobtrusive, but automatically changing things can cause issues too.
