Re: [Trisquel-users] Windows 7 and 8 users are starting to disable Windows Update entirely. Yikes.

Mint has a custom update manager that disables kernel updates by default.  
Many have wanted them to change this policy, but they are stubborn. Getting  
an updated kernel with patches and security fixes should always be an option  
due to the standard kennel sticking to a main release. Like how Mint 18 will  
use Ubuntu 16.04's 4.4 kernel.
