From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It doesn't forcibly update, but it asks in a fullscreen window that looks as if the update started. Just click no thanks/cancel and it will continue to show the desktop. The window returns sometimes, but not always.

Good to know, thanks.

Still, I won't touch Windows if I can help it.
