Semi-related but I remember the ancient days when the original iPod touch (not iPhone though) initially had paid OS upgrades - not too crazy for back then when the firmware was often done when the device shipped save for maybe a small patch or three. But there were also larger updates too but not too common.
And then I remember Steve getting up on stage proclaiming that Apple βhas found a way!β to make it free.
Debian Users: "It better fuckin not be"
It's kinda the opposite on Mac and Windows. macOS updates have actually been free for a long time whereas Microsoft technically still charges for updates
As much as I hate Mac from the few times I used it for work and helping my wife I never remember paying for an update.
Also it may not be much but windows does get extra features in the yearly feature update. Recent updates brought built in winrar and the last one let you have tabs in notepad.

And break tons of shit you already had figured out.

And my last one (involuntary Windows update) overwrote GRUB because of course that's what I wanted, then after the first reboot not even Windows would boot and I had to create a live USB on my old laptop instead.

In my setup I was partially upgraded to GNOME 45 before I can upgrade to Fedora 39 thanks to Flatpak
Words of a madman
I'm getting a bit tired of seeing this meme get reposted over and over and over and over again.

I have worked around windows updates enough to make them not be a pain in the ass for me.
But in the last year I have been using Linux more, mostly Fedora and Mint. It is honestly embarrassing how much easier, more lightweight, and more streamlined the updates feel compared with Windows. Itβs especially amusing when itβs like βhey we updated your fucking kernel so please do a reboot as soon as you feel like it. Please.β
I miss when new macOS releases were actually paid and came with actually useful features that worked on pretty much every Macintosh they ran on for the most part.
