There are several times in my life when I thought I was doing alright until I upgraded something, and then I wondered how I ever survived without it. For example, going dual-monitor meant I couldn’t go back to using one screen, and Bitwarden stopped me from relying on browser password managers.
However, none of them felt quite as odd as when I broke a three-decade streak and moved from Windows to Linux for the first time. Suddenly, all of the things that I had gotten used to with Windows, I didn’t have to put up with anymore with Fedora. As such, it made me realize how much Windows really hindered my workflow, and how my Fedora Kinoite installation fixes that.
Fedora doesn’t pester me to update as Windows does
I can use my OS as I like
One thing that became immediately apparent when I moved to Fedora (and Linux in general) is how much control I have over my operating system’s updates. Not only could I update my OS whenever I wanted to without any pestering, but if I really wanted to, I could install an LTS distro and bring the updates down to a glacial crawl. Of course, I didn’t do that because I love getting all the exciting new goodies ASAP, which is why I stuck with Fedora; however, the option was there for me if I wanted to take it.
Suddenly, all those years of tolerating Windows deciding when I should update and forcing them upon my PC when I didn’t want them felt really bad. Especially given how Windows updates have been pretty unstable lately.
