What are the distros that would align with these categories?

Cool, more free stuff:

Not again!

Ooh, only Ubuntu pro:

    1st: Fedora
    2nd: Arch

    Debian would be: "nothing changed!" (with a sad or happy guy depending on use case)

    Your arch system would probably have updates unless you just updated within the last few minutes. Being suprised seems a bit unnecessary.

    I sometimes update out of habit almost immediately after I updated. That's always a little disappointing.

    If you're on Arch, then you want those tasty hourly updates om nom nom

    source: I use Arch btw

    All I wanna do is sudo pacman -Syu

    paru -Syu, you don't want to forget your AUR packages, right?

    You can do the same with just paru. No flags necessary.

    Heathen, using any software not written in rust is sacrilege

    I have seen horrors beyond comprehension because i tried updating aur packages

    Well, it's easy enough if you only use precompiled packages. Beyond that you should probably have a better understanding of what you are doing.

    I don't think the first two are distro specific, more a question of mindset. Unless there are distros that force update your system like some other OSs, which could cause the second picture to happen more often.

    On fedora atomic all updates are automatic. I don't even see that they happen. They just happen in the background. I love it.

    Neat! I was just thinking, if it starts updating the kernel as you turn it off, you'd have to wait a minute for it to finish. M$ style. Has that never happened?

    No. That's not how it works. It installs a new image alongside the current one and once you boot again it simply boots into the new image. Never ever wait for an update again.

    Oh right, atomic distros work differently, didn't think about that! That is convenient!

    Does it give you a choice at startup, similar to the Grub menu, or do you have to do something to bring the option up?

    I was thinking that the user intentionally chose their distro, because of the Ubuntu character.

    Cool, more free stuff

    Arch, you want more free stuff faster

    Not again!

    Debian, you want to set and forget, so any updates that do come up are still a nuisance
