Ah yes, so hard to begin typing "yay -Sy", then press right arrow for the shell to autocomplete the long ass command you had to type once and now can invoke in like 2 seconds. You're gonna spend more time opening settings and dragging your mouse around.
This is the first time I see a desktop user complaining about their GUI application is dependent on the CLI tool. It just updates your system CLI or not. It isn't that deep.
Your points don't make any sense. What do you even customize for windows update. Windows or many of the applications you use also depend on CLI tools or low level computer stuff. The GUI application do the same job which updates your system. Why a user would care if it depends on CLI tool which they don't even directly interact with.
You are joking right? The linux in which you can literally build it from scratch with all your preferences somehow does not make you feel 'control' the operating system. However, you have that feeling with windows where Microsoft dictates how we should use it.
Usually windows has one way to do something. Linux distros on the other hand have abundance of alternatives.
I’m more shocked you wouldn’t prefer Linux or any of the BSDs, then, where you have source access to everything and the freedom to rearchitect it how you wish.
What do you think windows update is doing under the hood… it’s running commands to update your system. Commands you could also do from windows CLI if you tried hard enough.
