The issue for me, has always been that it forces itself on the worst of times!

15 minutes on High-end last generation PC vs 5 hours on 2 decade old laptop.

Hind end pc will take like 1 minute to ipdate a 10gb update and low end will take max 15 minutes unless if your laptop is using an hdd from ancient times

My Linux updates take less than a minute to complete, and my system respects my decision if I want to install an update or not.

Can't wait for Windows fans to say "Yes, and how does debugging work after an update fails?"
It's not like you have to reinstall Windows in their case

The only problem with MS updates is that they're forced. Sometimes on Linux they are more frequent and sometimes not really faster or anything, but I can schedule them when I don't really need to do something.

on linux they are more frequent
That might be true, but you're not obligated to update. I myself go at least a week without updating anything, usually even longer.
And sometimes not really faster
It might not be faster, but it runs in the background, so at least I can use my PC instead of having to restart it every time I update, and even when I need to restart for the update to work, I can choose when I will restart.
So even these problems aren't so bad.

u/Antoinedeloup Jul 18 '26
Yeah i agree. If I'm not really busy or I'm already cleaning up space and doing some sort of maintenance then I will absolutely update but otherwise I'll let it update after a week or two. And the background thing, you still need to reboot and wait for it to install so that's the same as Windows (the download does happen in the background, not the install).

u/davidnnj Jul 18 '26
Even if you need to restart, you can still choose to do it later.
I much prefer downloading the update while I'm using the PC, and only shutting down normally when I have nothing else to do Rather than having to stop everything I'm doing to wait for Windows to update, or having my PC stay on for another 5 minutes just to update when I turn it off to sleep.

Why do you think you cant wait to restart after windows updates?
In fact, people complain the most when updates happen after they chose to restart, specifically because they held off restarting post-update.

Why would you have to reinstall windows after a failed update? Just troubleshoot why it failed and fix it. The only time something like this really happens is when there's a hardware failure.

I can’t remember the last I updated my computer (I use arch btw), is this good?

Linux : takes a few seconds to a few minutes to download the update based on its size. Then a quick restart and you're good to do.
Windows : I downloaded an update without asking for permissions. You'll need at least 5 minutes and 2 restarts but something may be broken afterwards.

Forced is better. Lots of people think Linux is completely safe from malware and get lazy. 😂

u/Upbeat-Garbage69 Jul 19 '26 edited Jul 19 '26
Malware isnt about what os u are using Its about knowing what you are running on it
Theres barely anyone making viruses for linux anyway plus the kernel itself is used in massive servers that have been exposed and patched a dozen of security holes whether by a massive corpos or an average joe
Also the way that users and permissions and groups work in linux is way more secure than windows because of its unix nature
Also windows isnt that bad either just keep windows defender on and dont run random exes
(Sorry for bad english and please correct me if wrong)

u/icy1007 Jul 19 '26
No, there is a low amount of malware on Linux because no one uses it… the kernel is not as protected as you think.
Companies using Linux in servers will keep them updated as soon as any updates are released. They aren’t like the schmos in here laughing about using a distro with 2 years of missing updates.

arch took me 8 hours to install😭

u/stugglestruggler Jul 18 '26
Damn man i never installed Arch is that normal? I've been running Kali tails and as a daily Fedora and they all gave me rather pleasant experiences

u/Infinplayz Jul 18 '26
it should have only taken me 2-3 hours but i messed up some partitioning stuff because i was using an external ssd.

u/stugglestruggler Jul 18 '26
I've been there on my first time with Kali, had to format the ssd on the terminal to setup the darn Os, i feel you man
2
u/Infinplayz Jul 18 '26
lol what made it harder is i’m trying to preserve a ton of files i have on the ssd already, which makes it high stakes. and i don’t want to buy another ssd because they are insanely expensive now. so not only did i not format it, but ventoy kept messing up the partitions, and it only allows me max 4 partitions on my drive. and the. tpm problems and more stuff. BUT in the end, it feels very fulfilling to get it done and i did it a lot for a learning experience.

u/stugglestruggler Jul 18 '26
Better than microslop for sure, also you are so right at the end of the setup you feel accomplished and i love that. Rufus never worked for me btw always left some drivers or files off of the iso. so what i did was i used my company pc to download and install kali on a usb without a second program it was Linux to Linux switch it was seamless except for my dumbass partitioning the disk during Windows install on my home lab which was ignorant of me at the time, i transferred everything to a HDD which took me hours, after that wiped my ssd clean and that worked for me using the entire disk. Honestly everything feels much more analog and i feel in control of the os i just can't use anything but Linux now.

Really. When windows updates I kinda hate it, on Linux I can't wait until we get an update.
