    I mean, popups are by definition intrusive, no?

    Windows 11 just shows a little icon in the notification tray and won’t really bother you otherwise until you click on it. I think by default it will try to install the pending updates on shutdown, but when you click on the icon you can choose to either postpone it or do it immediately.

    Meanwhile, Ubuntu always interrupts you with a popup which yes, you can click “Not now” on if you want to deal with it later, but then it’ll just pop up again some other time. And the only other option is to just let it do its thing (but at least it can run unobtrusively in the background and only requires a restart if there’s a kernel update).
