    I tend to agree. but how do you automatize updates? tech illiterate people won’t open the shell, and apt upgrade.

    with some distros like mint and opensuse there’s a paved way to set this up with a gui, but even that is just small updates. what will the user do with major distribution upgrades?

      Most distros have automated updates, or ask to update on power-off. Debian and all derivatives do. As for major updates, I do those for my tech illiterate family. It’s not like they can do that themselves, but they wouldn’t be able to upgrade Windows themselves either.
