I do use linux mint for basic stuff, bit I am a complete noob and can’t figure out how to get Altstore on it, not that it matters because it hasn’t been updated in 2 years for Linux
Bro, if you want to raise adoption you gotta drop the “IAmVerySmart” tone. Be kind with people, encourage them to learn. There was a time you didn’t know this either.
Instead of saying “haha you use apple” why not “Oh okay great, so if you used X on Apple you’ll probably find Y on Linux to be very similar”
If OP is using an iPhone then Linux is probably not right for them. Just have to accept that you don’t control your own devices when you’re using those platforms.
Without intending to circlejerk, the only linux updates that I have encountered that required a reboot were kernel updates, and they don’t force a reboot, they just don’t apply until you do. And when you do update the kernel, the update is downloaded and set up without interrupting anything. You can just power off when you’re done, and next time you power on, it’s already updated. None of those “Please wait 5-10 minutes, and don’t power off your PC” messages.
But that’s how Windows updates go. They update and then ask for a reboot, which you do when you switch the PC off. The people than complain about windows updating when they logged on are people that delayed the security updates so long that they were beyond critical y the time windows said that enough is enough.
Yeah but for some reason Windows updates hang on the login screen for what seems like an eternity on shutdown and startup. No idea what Windows is doing, but it’s super frustrating.
We already have them, they called Windows XP and 7.
Although this is an issue, but it’s pretty safe to say that “it’s their fault”. Also Pop!_OS has the annoying for me pop-up once in a while that tells me that there are updates available. With this users probably will still update sometimes.
Should have installed Linux instead

You’re using apple products? There’s your problem.
The software you’re talking about doesn’t even support Linux.

Great, then you didn’t have to say “Should have installed linux instead” because you admit that it may not be the right solution for everyone.
Uh huh and I posted that before op said he was using an iPhone smartypants
And there’s your lesson about assuming things about people.
I assure you that most people that use Linux don’t degoogle their phone. What’s the difference then?
You do not need to update Linux?

Dunno, when I had windows I just pressed update and restart before logging off and by the next morning it was done.
Need to? yes. Have to? No
More like “it’s your choice”.
And if that choice was left to the average user, we would have computers that didn’t have security updates for years.

Well you are not forced, much better when trying to manage time or data
and you can use the pc while it updates
