It's actually pretty easy to permanently disable updates in Windows.
Done.
...seems like a bad idea
Linux literally won't update unless I told it to so this is basically the same
Unfortunately, some distros have the auto-update option in the software center enabled by default. So if you don't explicitly disable that, Linux distros will update on the predefined schedules without additional confirmation. But you can still choose when to reboot, in case it is required to apply all changes.
