Hi, I'm Ubuntu Linux! I will collect all your updates, for both the OS and your programs, into one easy update. I will politely inform you when updates are available, and you can download and install them at your convenience.

@442,847 (Meta !PARAdoxiHw)
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

How is that gay? I use windows primarily on my desktop, but I think it would be amazing if windows had a similar software repository (that isn't fuelled by greed).

Not gay in a necessarily negative way, just ehhhh. Not really something I'd find particularly attractive.

It's really convient and in no way mandatory. I love it because I don't need to keep track of what I got from where and the updates are just two commands away. Also as an added benefits the applications themselves usually don't have annoying popups telling me there's a new version available.
