Don’t usually have these problems in a managed business environment. We update thousands of systems all the time.

It’s as if the problem is with letting users manage systems, regardless of the OS.

Also, I don’t have these problems on my home systems, or any system in my circle that’s managed by me, regardless of the OS. And when I say managed by me, I just mean users aren’t local admins, and I’ve trained them to let me handle app installs and updates. If they see something shiny that they want, let me know and I’ll help them get what they want.

The ones I don’t manage are always a shit show. Like yesterday, told a friend he’d have to fully reset one of his systems, because the user is a local admin, so of course it’s all fucked up. I’m not spending my time tracing what they allowed to be installed because they couldn’t be bothered to read what the malicious app would do. You want to be lazy, you’re paying the price of a reset.

Maybe now he won’t let them run as admin all the time.

Don’t let users run as admin/root, and many problems go away.
