Windows 10 October 2018 Update no longer deletes your data
&quot;No longer&quot;. That&#x27;s a very bad sign about QC and how confident the major retailers are that we&#x27;re not going to switch to a different and more stable OS.  The problem is that they&#x27;re right, because Unix&#x2F;Linux&#x2F;etc was never and is not meant to be a single-user desktop home OS for the general public.  Of course, random broken updates completely bricking your system should be no surprise to those users either.<p>Anybody got a suggestion for an OS I can use that exists on hard media, doesn&#x27;t use kernel or base OS code that&#x27;s been distributed digitally and has optional completely non-destructive updates via hard media no more than once a year, so that I&#x27;m not feeling like I&#x27;m trying to hit a moving target with the stuff I want to use, and it either works or not until a year later?
