      Steam’s updates don’t prevent me from using my PC, force me to run updates on their schedule or even require me to reboot when I’m not ready.

          That’s not the case, and you didn’t read what you linked. I’m also a professional system admin with decades of experience on Windows and Linux, so we can keep arguing if you’d like, but I’m not going to accept that Windows is as you’re saying when I know better.

          What that link says is that I can delay the updates by a week on Windows 10, but then am forced to update after that. I can also set active hours, but the system will still force the updates and reboot the computer.

          Linux can update without forcing a reboot until I’m ready. It also never has a “Updates Applying” screen that locks me from using it. And, in fact, most updates don’t require a reboot and the kernel can be setup for live updates that almost never require one to begin with.
