      The Mac one could be a lot more realistic:

      “Mac OS Yellowstone is available for your Mac, and will update tonight.”

      “Mac OS did not update last night because you left some windows open.”

      “Mac OS will update tonight, but you must enter your fingerprint and password to make it happen.”

      “Mac OS did not update last night because you didn’t enter your password again at 2AM and we weren’t sure if you really meant it”

      Depends on distro, snapshotting and if it’s a immutable distro.

      Though Windows users should be worrying more, they don’t have backups and have silently activated bitlocker but ignorance of that is bliss.

      Mac user don’t have to worry in my experience.

        Very true. I switched to Fedora Atomic Budgie recently, and I haven’t looked back. Windows and Mac users do get some limited cloud storage to back up their personal data for free, but they have to set it up and accept MS and Apple’s EULAs which is a whole ball of snakes on its own.
