It's basically come to the point of forcing the end user to Install updates, which Is absolutely pathetic.

Very much so. It is great that there are open source operating systems (Linux, BSDs, etc.) available to replace the corporate operating systems (Windows), but there is still a problem that exists: the hardware that runs the open source operating system in the first place.

All of our hardware comes from for-profit corporations, whether it is HP, Intel, computer parts distributors, etc. The Intel Management Engine is an example of why even open source, non-corporate software is not the final solution.
