Windows, macOS and a ton of other Linux distros do that as well.
First of all, windows and macOS are not for free. They cost extra money, sometimes hidden in the PC cost when pre-installed. When they do a major update, like Win10 to 11, you are at their mercy, if your license can be used to upgrade. Often it can, but sometimes your PC is not “Windows 11 ready” or so and then you get updates for your old system for a few more years until they drop you like a hot potato and throw you to the malware wolves.
Additionally, in Windows the automatic updates are just for the OS itself and some apps from its store. A few apps like Chrome and FF install their own extra update service on top. A lot of other programs check for updates individually or some not at all and often you have to download and run their installer for every update. Idk how it is in macOS tho. Haven’t used it in years.
Yes, a ton of other Linux distros also have background unattended-upgrade or similar. However, the people who choose Ubuntu over those are usually looking for a quick solution that almost always just installs without problems. They usyally don’t have time or patience for any complications, however small. So they choose the fire-and-forget Linux and additionally have greater chances to find a fix or help in the super rare case it doesn’t work, because the bigger user base increases the likelyhood someone else is familiar or has infos regarding that exotic issue.
it’s kinda the fire-and-forget of OSes. you just press the update/upgrade button when the unattended-upgrade didn’t catch all and it just works for free and forever.
i used symlinks first, but they break when you rename target files or directories.
as long as it’s one file system, hard links work better for me. so one day i replaced them all with hard links.

maybe koreader has an error and that causes the autologin session to end and you go to login.
another problem could be another login thingy started first and greetd can’t use the tty. check inittab
I agree, but agile and scrum are not meant to be followed to the letter no matter what. So people are doing it right if they notice some part of the process should be changed to make it work for them.
i have different directories named after moods/styles filled with hard links to my music. works better than playlists for me
Don’t worry, US Americans. You’re among friends.
You can always boot from a live medium, chroot into it and fix stuff, e.g. a live USB or CD/DVD. They can be created from Windows.
make sure to make the first backup before you use deduplication. just in case it goes sideways
depends on region. my region has enough water. still, most people try to not waste it. water has to be treated before it goes back into nature and people understand it helps to minimize this process.
but it’s more about the routine anyway. you get used to the movements you make in the shower, so the brain starts to trail off. doesn’t mean you just stop moving and think. that usually only happens when you’re traumatized or so.
you just think that because you don’t already have the result of your criteria sitting in a magic field
okay, but why did you use a password when the ssh/sftp key is right next to the files
lol Comapenis
don’t share /boot
it contains stuff from the distro for booting and configuring/installing a boot loader. if both garble their stuff in there it will likely break.
Hi blurry. You can call me daddy 😆
–exclude works reliable for me. can you give us an example of an --exclude and the file name that tar outputs when adding it?
