You're completely right.

The problem is with the model of automatic and forced updates, where users have no process of "acceptance testing" (and no practical mechanism to roll back if a version fails the test).

Unfortunately, I see it creeping into the world of Linux users, too.

For example, Ubuntu seemed pretty good about 10 years ago when I started using it, but it migrated to a model of forced updates (also switching to the snap package manager, which also brings with it some other problems). (I ran the same version of Ubuntu for 10 years before switching to LMDE6 this year.)

@johnlogic @ainmosni Switched from Ubuntu to Mint, and now using antX, since all my computers are old. Yeah, if I want an update, I will use the terminal.
