I forgot the details already but i got a wizard style setup screen pushing extra services, then a pop up and an update screen both showed up, one wanting to upgrade me to the next LTS (i used 22.04 for reproducibility reasons) and one informing me there are package updates, in spite of the installer allegedly installing updates just 2 minutes before.

Suspiciously like Windows.

So you install an outdated system and dislike that the system very clearly tells you it is outdated and that there is an upgrade?

There can also be updates on fresh systems, if said updates are released after the installer image was built.

> Suspiciously like Windows.

No, windows would start the upgrade without you telling it to and then forcefully restart while you were running programs.

Spam interrupting my work is spam. Plus I installed 22.04 for a reason.

I’m not a Linux newbie asking for advice, I’m just asking what the hell is happening to desktop Linux. As in im reasonably current on headless Linux. It was more respectful of the users concentration last time I used it seriously.
