My main issue nowadays is update management, when it comes to Windows. I removed all
Windows systems from my home life by Windows Vista.

I didn't have crashes back then, but I had issues with resource consumption and OS
degradation with use. To this day I think degradation is one of the biggest issues for
a common user since performance goes down with use.

This is something that I like of Linux and the BSDs: once you set a machine up, the
filesystems don't frag to self-annihilation and the core OS does not get polluted,
since core OS changes are done with package managers or ports engines which allow to
keep changes controlled.
