I just fired up a Win10 machine for the first time in some while in order to run specific software.
Good gawd. It was finally useful about 4 hours later after all the updates and tomfoolery. Never again.
- blacksmith_tb 5y agoWell, I am not sure it'd be painless to boot up a macOS machine or an Ubuntu desktop that hadn't been getting updates for months - probably not 4hr, but there'd be some annoyance.
- userbinator 5y agoThe difference is that those will at most nag you, but unless you've been extremely thorough in disabling all of the automatic update machinery (which is almost malware-like in its persistence), on Windows it will come back with a vengeance.
- scns 5y agoSome anecdata: updating packages on Linux will finish in less than 20 minutes (given a high DL speed), no reboots inbetween, and afterwards you can keep working, unless you want to boot a newly installed Kernel.
