Forced updates ≠ automatic updates. On Windows you can avoid updates only for so long until you're forced to install it or they install it without your consent anyway. On Linux I can enable automatic updates, if I want, but it's always my choice what packages I update and which I don't. And if something goes wrong, I can easily revert back to a prior version. You can't do that on shitdows.
>Google knows 10-100 times more about us than windows.
Whataboutism. Only because Google is a greater privacy nightmare, doesn't mean Windows it's less bad.
>When I last installed Ubuntu they wanted to force me to make an account with them just to use gui for the package manager.
I have never encountered or heard about this, but yes, Ubuntu gets worse and worse, so I could imagine such a thing happening. Luckily Linux is FOSS and you can just choose one of the many other distros that are out there.
