Windows 10 version 1803 got its final set of security patches on Tuesday. I'm sure all those users really want the upgrade, after all
And I'm sure it won't break anything

Let me fix that for you : they will attempt to automatically "upgrade" you. This update has been attempted three times on my laptop and failed every time. This thing has the Synaptics touch pad and its driver is quite problematic. It is the most difficult driver to uninstall I have ever run across.

At least your laptop failed cleanly.
My personal desktop 'succeeded' for versions of sucess that equate to a working login but everything after that being hosed requiring a rollback a month ago. 
I suspect the root cause is an install dating back to W7 on a different set of hardware. 
I'm currently debating between trying again with 1903 this weekend, or trying either 1809 or 1909 instead...
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Be proud, you have been promoted to "Premium (Alpha) Tester", unfortunately this job is still unpaid.
Caution: the patch will be automatically applied at your own risks.

Ultima Thule, the farthest cosmic body ever visited by a spacecraft, has been renamed Arrokoth, or 'sky' in the Native American Powhatan language, following a backlash over the previous name's Nazi connotations. Godwin's Law of planetary naming strikes again

Quote: Phoebe Farris, a professor emeritus in art and design at Purdue University who is herself of Powhatan-Pamunkey heritage, told AFP she was asked by NASA to approach Powhatan elders for their consent, and "all the feedback was positive and perceived as an honoring".
"Since we are the original inhabitants of what is now called North America, known to us as Turtle Island, it is fitting that 'discoveries' over our skies, on our land and in our waters should be given indigenous names," she added.

"Fitting" ? Um, OK. If you insist.
Maybe the indigenous inhabitants of this ice world should be consulted first.

I understand that Germany will shortly be renamed due to its name's association with the Nazis and Hitler. The new name will also be Arrokoth as it is a nice name and hard to mistake for any kind of Nazi symbolism.
Arrokoth is also, by sheer coincidence, the name of the next D&D character I roll up - so cool!

NextCloud founder Frank Karlitschek challenges Linux developers to start working together to make life easier for would-be Linux application developers. If it does, he thinks Linux can be a significant desktop player. And maybe after that, The Beatles could get together again

Seriously, is he first to ask this? I was thinking the same thing since I am playing with linux server for almost a year.
Ubuntu installation have like 4 different desktops environments. There are probably like a dozen VNC servers. None of them works out of the box. Even if many, many things works out-of-the-box many more itches the hell out of you i.e. dark them in debian causes on some websites to render white letters in white input fields
Some applications uses apt, some snap, some docker, some appimages, some others etc. What is great about FOSS world is IMO its biggest weakness.

You could, but you wont because too many of us developers think we have a better way (and sometimes that's true, we do) and want everyone else to know it and follow it. Hence the fragmentation of Linux, Android and every other flavor of *nix.
This will continue until all come to the unity of faith that is Windows.

There are many reasons (problems in the general Linux ecosystem) that this will probably never happen. Until and unless Microsoft kills Windows off and comes out with their own Linux distro, we're all up Kernel Creek without a paddle.
