Which distributions enable automatic updates by default? And which ones force you to keep them on?

I've yet to experience either of those behaviors in my daily usage of Arch, Debian and Unraid, or in my sporadic use of a few other distributions.

Red-Hat, SuSE, Ubuntu for example, the typical enterprise ones.

And if getting philosophical if they are Linux distributions or not, ChromeOS and Android (PlayStore).

I’ve never seen a Linux (or even Android) distro that forces the user to update. Pester? Yes. But never “The system is rebooting in 60s to apply updates. [Reboot Now] [Wait 0s]”

Can some distros be configured that way? Almost definitely. But OP is clearly a decision maker t their company and would not choose that.

My current Samsung phone does this. I've never experienced this on any other Android device.

My S23U doesn't force update that I've seen.

Brings liability into question I guess; is Samsung liable for anything if a user chooses not to update?

Likewise Windows can be configured that way via AD.

Great, do I have to learn about azure to disable the start menu ads as well?

What? Enterprise distros coming default with auto update?
