    Windows user : Oh no, updates...

    Linux user : Yeah, updates!

    Mac user : Only $79 for the update!

      I'm a Linux user and I love Linux updates. I also love Windows updates. I like updates in general. But I like knowing that my update doesn't break anything.

      I get the joke, but Mac updates have been free for a very long time (3+ years), where as Windows just started giving out free updates. Linux updates have been free for forever, but they consistently break everything.

        Really? I've never had an update break anything on any of my (several) Linux systems.

        I recently updated to 17.2 (Linux MInt) as well as upgrading my kernel to 3.16, too. Still no problems, and it fixed a couple of things that were really bugging me.

          How many systems do you have and why?

            Desktop, laptop, a couple servers, and a raspberry pi.

            So 5 in total, all running various distros of Linux.

        I've been a Linux user since 2006 and 99% of the updates do not break anything.

        I've used Linux for 11 years and I've never had updates break anything except 10 10 broke Compiz once... Nor do I know anyone who has had problems with Linux updates and I've been on a lot of Linux forums and talked with a lot of users for a very long time. Linux on both my computers.
