Hey, how about next time I need important updates I will install them manually issuing a simple command like "apt update && apt upgrade" or "pacman -Suy", or whatever else is there? And on top of that reboot my home computer on my own schedule and when I have convenient time to do so. And even gasp not updating my OS with important security updates if I choose so! Bottom line, screw Windows with its updates. Why it is so if I own the hardware and turn it off and on whenever I want I can't do the same with my software?

Yes, I'm sure the average Joe will like that UX.
Ah, the average Joe that was doing approximately that about 10 years ago on Windows 7 via UI (which linux distros also provide) and wasn't really complaining about it in the process. What changed?
It's the same process now mate.
