Used Windows today since months

I started daily driving Linux since I left school this year and used it before but mainly windows because school wanted us to run Word, Teams, etc. Today I wanted to play games and haven’t set up my device for gaming and didn’t want to download the game twice (good internet). Like a good PC user I wanted to do my updates. It really sucks on windows. I had three windows updates to make, one crashed. It rebooted my device 4 times. Also I needed to update other drivers and applications. Now I really appreciate package managers more than ever before.

Then Firefox decides that it's absolutely necessary that updates get applied this second and refuses to do anything until you restart it.

I have never had that happen. Distros usually disable the built-in updater and even if they didn't, the updater merely shows a pop-up asking you to download the new version.

It's not an auto update, it just demands to restart the second the update I asked for finishes installing. First world problems I know

You told it to update then you're upset that it is updating...

I'm well aware it's me being dumb, I just forget that I ran sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y until Firefox gives me the boot
