Have't been able to do windows 7 manual security updates for around 3 yrs, since I kept blocking their auto change over to windows 10 code from being installed. . bunch of deep state finks that could't give a stuff about users that don't want to install 20 new random 'spyware' updates. . every single f_cking day. . been goin commando with zero protection since around then.
Anti virus companies seem to install virus's just so they can 'detect' them. . heard of a few horror stories of problems arising after people getting various free or brand name anti virus software installed, only had that Avast & that other free one for a bit until they put me off tap.

A good compromise is to let Windows Update inform you when updates are ready but not make it automatic (there are annoying times where it might update at bad times interrupting what you are in the middle of doing) - and also, sometimes it will give you bad driver updates - so, maybe only download and install security updates and research the other types of updates (performance etc) moreso.

I had multiple disasters due to intrusive Windows updates in the first couple years after I installed Windows 7, losing hundreds of hours of work. I then decided the risk of disabling updates, while dangerous, was at least not as bad as leaving them on.
It's been seven years since I disabled Windows updates. I have never had a problem.

Everyone have to use GNU/Linux because is the only OS that give freedom to the user. But this is not mean that is by default safe. The use always have to be the master and take control of everything otherwise he is not the user. So I suggest to the any user learn first the infrastructure of your computer and the basic networking.

I just started with Linux yesterday. I'm sure it's more secure software-wise, but I don't trust that it has MY security in mind. Also, it's still not plug-and-play. We can't just tell people to switch to Linux. The last 22 hours for me has been an extremely stressful and confusing time, and I'm pretty proficient with computers.

I've been using Linux for the last month. Because I didn't become fluent in DOS back in the day I also didn't learn how to use Terminal. It's very hard for me to find fixes to keep Linux running. I spend more time hunting for fixes than using my computer. I'm about to go back to Windows.

I love your videos but can you not take the gaps out after your sentences with whatever filter you use! The brain needs a split second to take in each sentence but youre not giving it a chance. Please opt for the natural speach. I mean whats the rush? Your voice sounds robotic. Thanks

For those who want to learn Linux for security and productivity reasons, without losing all Windows and Windows gaming ability, I suggest dual-boot. Easiest way to get into Linux slowly. And then, if you want to work, go to Linux. Want to play games, go to Windows.

I've switched from windows and use Archmerge. For me this is the linux of choice as it has the latest software, a great team of developers who give detailed tutorials via youtube and above all, it's easy to use.
