W10. I shut down my pc every night so if it needs to have a rest it will. But I never had it reboot on me in the middle of something like I hear linuxboys fantasize about. The only thing I notice when it’s got an update coming up is that the button says “update and shutdown” instead of just “shutdown”.
It’s fascinating to me how much someone can fanboy/fangirl over a simple computer OS that you’ll straight up smear the facts in favor of your argument. It’s fucking software, use what you want and chill the fuck out. So windows hasn’t forced you to restart because you shut your computer down every night. A lot of people don’t do that since we may still have other processes running while we’re not at the PC. In those cases, windows absolutely will force a restart, and usually at the most inconvenient time. You don’t have that problem because you don’t need your PC to be running overnight, so you shut yours down which mitigates the forced restart issue. And you know that’s what’s happening or you wouldn’t have mentioned it. So stop arguing in bad faith and come up with an actually relevant argument if you’re still planning on being worked up over what OS strangers on the internet use.
“You’re overreacting to someone overreacting because you called them out on it, lolz” Also, not the definition of irony.
I don’t even have a dog in the race - as annoying as windows is, I still use it. The only Linux machine I have at the moment is my NAS. Not nearly as invested in this as you’re choosing to read into it. My issue was with someone arguing in bad faith.
You raise a good point, I don’t really categorize myself as any OS fanboy, there are plenty of retarded things in windows (scrollbar implementation and focusthieves can eat my ass), but linux users are legitimately the most thin skinned fanboys of all time. As shown by this thread, say a little quip that’s clearly exaggerated and suddenly basements all over the world start echoing mechanical keyboard clackering over it. If linux was reasonable to use and would have an UI even slightly comparable to windows I’d switch in a heartbeat
At least that works for you. I’ve never been able to get windows to respect my “active hours.” Especially on my work laptop - I work overnight, and frequently have to open up a command prompt to override the forced scheduled restart. Even though the active hours thing allows you to put in a day that starts at PM and ends at AM, something about my work day crossing over midnight apparently just makes windows shit its diaper.
Edit: Dang, fuck me for just relaying my experience. Didn’t realize we weren’t allowed to criticize the godOS.
You’ve never had windows reboot on you for an update? Are you running 3.1 or something?

You show that you’re about 17 and have been using computers like 2 years lol
I’ll take this bait. If your OS requires any experience, it’s badly designed. Using an OS unreasonably difficult doesn’t make you smarter.
So yes then
You must be socially inept if you think that was a confirmation
You thought that was worth typing.
Yes, with the hope you understood why your comment didn’t make sense.
But I guess I failed.
It did make sense as long as you’ve ever spoken to other people before
I’ve never had windows force a reboot and I don’t even turn my PC off at night like the other guy does
I just tell it to schedule a time for the middle of the night and go from there
I think maybe back in the xp/vista days that happened once or twice, but not in well over a decade now
