Apple machines still needs constantly updates, and worse, they keep nagging you.

My only macOS installation is a Catalina one, and Apple keeps wanting me to upgrade it to Big Sur, that I don't want for some reasons. However, the only workaround I found to stop the update badge from appearing (that is really distracting since it confuses me if this is something important or not) is to set some strange flag and kill Finder. If I open settings for any reason, the update badge reappears and this is really infuriating.

My system with the last amount of maintenance is my NixOS installation, where any workaround that I need for software/hardware issues are forever described in my dotfiles. So yeah, I need to find how to fix something once, however afterwards it will just work. Also different from Apple I can do upgrades when I want, they're atomic and I can also do rollbacks, so they're pretty much safe from a user perspective.
