Turns out it's that bad - I am absolutely not used to trackpads. In other news, literally everyone but me voted for "yes, you can update regularly on a toaster laptop with a badly designed trackpad while being badgered by kids IRL."
I've included "don't care about details" options for a very good reason. This is not a question of "would updates be kickass?" because duh. This is a question of "will it be a smart idea to update while in a massive rut?". It'll last for roughly half a month.
The poll has been reset and reworked in hopes of more informed voting.
