The slow boot and shutdown times, and the interminable upgrades are almost inhuman.
It seems like you can upgrade Ubuntu to a new major version faster than Windows can install a month's worth of fixes.
Especially when the Windows updates are unannounced and suddenly it's going to take 30 minutes to leave your desk instead of 30 seconds.

It is beyond obvious --brutally, massively so-- that this is not important at all. Not even a little. The proof is simple: Billions of users have done just fine for decades. The only people who ever complain about this are technical folks who often view the world from a perspective that is far removed from average-user reality (the billions of people I mentioned before). I think it is extremely important for engineers to be able to understand that they don't often view the world in terms that actually matter. One of my favorite go-to examples for this are the endless (and pointless) arguments about vi/vim vs. whatever.
