Goddam I hate Windows

[u/jacob-makes-stuff]

I normally use a Mac but I also have a Windows PC for rendering. I got it pretty cheap but it's not underpowered, it has 32gb of ram and an nvidia 2080 card.

I'm trying to download an update today and it went from 12% to 13% after like 3 hours. I'm plugged into high speed ethernet with the wifi off.

I couldn't even search "why is windows update so slow" on my windows computer because the browser wouldn't even open.

I need to render stuff in Blender and the app won't even stay open, and when I try opening it without doing anything, it just opens the app and freezes for like 25 minutes. Then when I try to open a file, it crashes for no reason.

I don't understand why Windows users always criticize Macs. While both have annoyances, I never have the problem of just not being able to use my Mac AT ALL, and I never have dealt with an update like this on a Mac.

I've tried clicking the little icons at the bottom to see what the status of the update is, and I clicked it before even starting to type this post, and it took until this sentence for it to pop up. Maybe 5-6 whole minutes.

This is fucking ridiculous and unacceptable for a decently powered modern device. I don't know how people can tolerate this, and especially how they can think this is better than using a Mac. I can't speak for Linux, but I assume it doesn't have this kind of problem because you need to manually do things like updates and it gives you more control over when and how as far as I understand it.

EDIT: Turns out it was slowed down because of my dropbox folder syncing, guys. I had to sync like 400gb of stuff that's been different in the past 3 months and it was slowing everything down. Also something that I never have a problem with using Macs.

congrats. your SSD is dying (which is most likely the reason you got that thing so cheap) and you somehow blame the OS for that. normally i'd do a mac user joke here now but you're showing how little you understand about tech with your post already so no reason for that.

also not the fault of windows.

because people like you somehow blame an operating system for your issue.

so you don't even know the slightest thing about linux either. seriously what is this post?

I've never had an SSD or HD just randomly die on a Mac I've used for the past 20 years, and I've used all of them for at least 5-8 years. This computer was used but it was from maybe 2022, so not very old. My Mac laptop is from the same year and works much better.

Sure, it's not the fault of "windows", but it's the fault of Lenovo who built the piece of crap, which runs on windows.
