So yes I am a Linux Fanboy now and the worst kind as I came from MS Windows so know what I have gained not only from having full control of my Laptop but my personal data too. I choose Ubuntu atm but have made the mistake of choosing Windows in the past, but Win 10 forced me to decide if I wished to put up with what MS force feed me or have freedom of thought ! Or if you are rich you just buy a new item when or if it goes faulty ! You either learn what needs to be done, get your partner to do the necessary or pay someone to do it for you - basically the same as a vehicle. Well computers are tools as well and need the same respect no matter the operating system you have chosen to use be it good or bad ! Obviously certain partners leave this to the ugly one of the house or just hope the vehicle doesn't fail in some way between services, So as to pass the buck onto someone else if you get my drift.Д«ut most people who have to watch the pennies so doing these checks is sensible as it saves money in the long term and avoids issues with road traffic officers if they get stopped ! While driving keeping an eye on instruments like speed, fuel and any warning lights like engine temp etcДЄlso certain checks need to be done like checking water in windscreen washer bottle and the engine when it is cold - obviously or get scolded !Д®xtra steps advisable is to check the tyres for wear and tear and objects like screws, nails or hedgehogs etc also check engine oil level as it helps to stop excessive engine wear leading to a replacement being required !Д¬heck lights including rear ones and general condition of vehicle, like Wind screen wipers, mirrors etc. 'The fact they have different life goals and interests and computers are not interesting gadgets, just the tools they're forced to use.'Д«ut a person using a car has to do the following I think your prejudices may be showing, where Linux Mint (Ubuntu) is concerned the level of effort is quite similar to Windows for both updating and upgrading ^^

I actually switched to Mint Debian a year ago or so specifically because reinstalling from scratch that frequently was getting tedious, and I wanted an install that I could just keep pressing update on instead (I am lazy, and that box is mostly for automation rather than daily use). In my experience with Mint, (from Mint 5 or thereabouts through to today), upgrading to a new major revision (Mint 7 to Mint 8, for instance) requires a reinstall from scratch, just like upgrading Windows to a new version. You appear to be confusing your usage of the term 'update' here your Linux example seems to be analogous to using Windows Update to install Win7 SP1 on base Win7 (click button, wait until finished, reboot), not installing a brand new version of the operating system (Win8 on a Win7 box). You might like to compare the following workflows for updating my wife's laptop (say) compared to a Win updateathon:
