Brand new, out of the box. It’s been sitting here at 100% for 5 minutes.
Can somebody explain why Windows is so much slower than… basically every other OS? I mean, what does Windows-Update differently then a apt-get upgrade
?
Windows updates are kind of snapshots, they replace more files than necessary and keep the old files incase the update fails or you wish to roll back x update. Besides that you’re also given new packages and features you never asked for, because Windows loves their guinea pigs and doesn’t care if something breaks because of it.
While I feel your pain with the update, the memories of that red dot persistently killing my left index finger joints increases my rage.
Arch: 30sec for update, 2min for full system upgrade
Kubuntu: 2min for update, 10min for full system upgrade
Windows: 5min for update, 30min for full system upgrade
Ubuntu: Please close firefox so i can install update. You closed it? Well… the update can wait.
Gentoo: 💀
you would think that the death of hdd makes windows updates bearable and this shows. manufacturers still find a way to budget the SSD so much that you want to install Linux either way. like not too long ago i got a wd blue and it’s slower than expected. no problem with Fedora though :D
Ubuntu: please restart to finalise the update.
Firefox: please restart Firefox as it has been updated.
