   Microsoft AutoUpdate, a process that I have repeatedly killed, and also prevented from starting at login, has somehow launched itself to tell me I have to update Microsoft AutoUpdate.

     @Smutny From 1996-2009 or so, I was all Linux all the time. Sysadmin at work, all my personal machines, everything. I even made my own gtk2 themes.

     Then I switched over to Mac, which was great for me.

     But this past year, for the first time in forever, as the Mac UI friction accrues and the thoughtless Microsoft demands from IT pile up, I've found myself pining for the good old Linux days.

     @mcnees I'm seriously tempted to go full Linux next time buying and setting up a computer. I've seen more and more people in my orbit do it. Apart from video games, I'm told there's pretty much a Linux alternative for everything now.
