> Obviously, less time spent is better, but what really matters is the timing... On Windows the upgrade is always inconvenient, because you have no way of controlling it. True, very good point in favor of user control. Linux has the added benefit of teaching the discipline and foresight to understand that "Hey... maybe I shouldn't run sudo pacman -Syu and reboot until I have some time set aside". Though in recent years I've found Arch to be way more stable with very few updates causing major problems.

> Though in recent years I've found Arch to be way more stable with very few updates causing major problems. Can confirm. I've had the same Arch install for nearly 6 years now. I've borked it only once in that time, and that one was my fault for not reading the news first. Fixed it in < 5 minutes. And I've made considerable changes in that time, including moving the entire installation from one hard disk to another.
