I don't buy this, am on a rolling-release distro and have pretty much the same experience as the OP.

- coldtea 8y agoA rolling release is not an LTS (of which I was talking about). Windows follows an LTS model. It can't go changing from under pros and businesses that use it everyday...
- AsyncAwait 8y agoHuh,? you said: > Your Ubuntu desktop only takes security and bugfix updates regularly. A rolling release explicitly doesn't just provide security updates, so my point is Windows updating more core components than Ubuntu LTS is no excuse.
- coldtea 8y agoI'm saying, Windows does it like Ubuntu LTS (and has to do it that way, for pros and businesses like it to not change under them unless they explicitly switch version which can happen after many years), not like a rolling release.
- AsyncAwait 8y agoBut nor Ubuntu LTS, nor a rolling-release takes as long to update as Windows does, so what's your claim? In either case it takes significantly longer to upgrade Windows than it does Linux.
