Unless you enable unattended upgrades explicitly (
https://wiki.debian.org/UnattendedUpgrades) Debian wouldn't download them
automatically.
Some tools may send multicast requests (I think Avahi does:
https://wiki.debian.org/Avahi)

You can use `tcmpdump` to check all your Internet traffic, and then use
`iptables` (or `nftables`) to disable unwanted traffic or simply uninstall
software that does it.

Windows does a lot of things under the hood. Linux doesn't.
