I am interested in the comment about windows. I have always been a windows user but am not wrapped in windows 10.
Does anyone else have experience of documents changing after there has been a windows update when the lyx document has been saved but left open. A suggestion from the list is that I use linux. I know nothing about it. Does it have automatic updates that you can't avoid where the system restarts. Is it more stable and do you avoid the crashes out of the blue and when selecting large amounts of text with the mouse. Does linux still have back-ups and save temp files.
