Atm: "....About 4 minutes remaining...."
My third Macbook (company provided) doing an unexpected update. That takes 10(!) minutes. After the download.
My ElementaryOS on a 6 year old thinkpad downloads and installs 3GB+ updates weekly, without rebooting, in 2 minutes!
Mac and Windows are ages and miles behind Linux.
- taylodl 5y agoYour company-provided Mac is being managed by your company - they have the ability to force updates and re-boots on you. If this were your personal Mac then you would not have enabled automatic updates. The fact that companies can manage their fleet of Macs in this manner is why they use Macs and not Linux. So no, Linux is not miles ahead of Windows or Mac OS when looking at managing a fleet of company-owned laptops and desktops. BTW - I have a company-owned and managed Mac and my own personal Mac. World of difference in experience between the two. My company forces updates on a frequent basis, and not just to Mac OS. There's a lot of software they manage and license on the machine and force updates.
- 28304283409234 5y agoI do auto updates in Linux. Because they just work. And take < 2 minutes. And do not need a reboot. Regardless if I manage a Mac or not, the time it takes to apply the update is the same.
- goosedragons 5y agoMacOS updates are ridiculous. Doing a point update (like 12.1 to 12.2) on my 2018 MBP would literally take no joke over 20 minutes. In that time I can completely reinstall Ubuntu and have already set basically everything up.
