I dunno. MacOS point releases take longer than entire Linux/Windows reinstalls. I clocked some at over 40 minutes.
I find I need a lot more 3rd party utilities to make it usable (why is there no HDMI/DP sound control? Why is window snapping so bad? Why no MTP? etc.) Then you have all the new "security" features that have made doing what I need to do way harder than it needs to be.
- esskay 4y agomacOS updates happen overnight when the machine is idle unless you disable that. I've not witnessed a mac update in years now, it happens automatically, and when I open my laptop it's done and everything is exactly as I left it.
- goosedragons 4y agoSame with Windows. And it can be done on Linux. Sometimes you may need to update manually, like if you turned off the computer while transporting it, you need to do something at 2 a.m. etc. And everything is exactly as you left it except not really. Your REPL is now dead, Emacs has lost all its buffers, etc. I just have all the programs I had open but they all lost their state and so it's completely utterly useless. But hey they're all open and technically in the same position...
