    What OS is forcing updates? -Not Windows. Desktop Linux users are so self-blinding that they ignore the main reason that they end up distro-hopping. (The never ending ‘your my fault you I chose the wrong distro’ excuse.)

      Literally in the last month or so Windows pushed an update that messed up the BitLocker check and locked a ton of company laptops . I’d point out this was also a major security update.

      But at least we agree updating for the sake of updating is bad policy on any software if you care about stability, so we can set that argument aside now, yes?

      For this new argument you’ve moved to: Distro hopping is for fun for people who like tinkering with computers. You wouldn’t get it. It’s not for everyone, plenty of people just pick a long term support release and call it day.
