Brand new, out of the box. It’s been sitting here at 100% for 5 minutes.
Ubuntu: please restart to finalise the update.
Firefox: please restart Firefox as it has been updated.
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
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: 💀
While I feel your pain with the update, the memories of that red dot persistently killing my left index finger joints increases my rage.
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.
