    I spent 1-2 hours debloating Windows and it turns out Windows update doesn’t work unless you turn back on the Windows firewall service.

    I forgot how I disabled it in the first place, so I gave up and installed Linux

      Why the hell would you even want to disable the firewall?

      Do you like insecure devices? Do you also never update? Are you also still on Windows XP or something?

        I’m behind a firewall on my router, why the hell do I want to enable it?

          To protect you from infected devices on your network.

          Like your mom’s phone full of bloatware and suspicious apps that connects to your wifi.

            I don’t have infected devices on my network because I don’t run Windows and I don’t live with my mom
