Part 4/9:
Windows offers some flexibility in controlling updates, but ultimately, users have limited say in when and how updates are applied. In Linux, the situation is markedly different. Many Linux distributions, by default, do not enforce automatic updates, instead notifying users of available updates and allowing them to decide when to install them.
For example, Linux Mint lets users selectively install updates, exclude certain packages, and choose whether to enable automatic updates. This full control can minimize disruptions and enhance user productivity, ensuring updates happen when convenient.
