the default for some distributions these days is to apply updates on restarts (which produce win-like update progress screens) instead of ‘immediately’ (and leaving a kernel update hanging and waiting for one). it is also often a user-configurable option for handling updates.
here’s fedora, as an example:
and if you tell your linux to install updates ‘automatically’, they will come in… ya know, automatically… like windows. i’ve yet to see one ‘force’ a restart, though… like windows likes to do.
Debian did this to me recently. I was very upset…
Well except it was for my fantasy draft so the stakes were obviously much higher. /s
Debian forces you to update? 🤔

The time it takes for these updates is also not nearly the same. You can easily be waiting 10-15 minutes for a large Windows update.
Oh wow, I wouldn’t want anything automatic to be happening to my installation, hell naw. 🚫🙅♂️
