Using Windows after 15 years on Linux

The linux kernel updates every day, yes, but unless there's a security issue, you don't _have to_ reboot into every new kernel your distribution pushes. Certainly no one forces you to.

Why does it nag me so often, then?

Because Ubuntu is trying as hard as it can to turn into Windows-but-with-the-Linux-kernel.

Indeed, it sometimes feels like they are getting right in lane for a Microsoft acquisition.

I'm kinda surprised it hasn't happened with all the mutual love (eg Ubuntu being the poster child for WSL)

This drives me nuts and I wish I could turn it off.

To be fair, it doesn't bug me when I use stumpwm instead of the default WM, but the default WM is otherwise quite nice for most things.

Unlike Windows, you CAN turn that off. Ultimately it's a service you can either configure or remove or even replace with another.

Even at it's worst, the worst distro with the worst default behavior, it's still nothing close to as inconsiderate as Windows.

I don't understand the complaint.

You should be able to disable all updates or set a time period of how often you want to be asked
