      I’ve never had issues with windows not honoring settings after an update.

    Linux updates: here’s the whole new desktop, GUI, appstore, start menu analog, and you can now summon a demon to do your bidding (no gui yet, you have to use the terminal until next update)

    There was actually a pretty big security problem in libwebp recently that likely led to some updates. Trust me, you’d want that patched.

    The update isn’t important. Being under the Totally Trustworthy™ umbrella of Microsoft is what’s important. You don’t need to see behind the curtain.

      Honestly, that what businesses want because it checks off a box in their cyber insurance application. They don’t care as long as their ass is covered.

    You can read the patch notes if you want to see what’s in the update just like linux.

    Windows: Runs update 20+ minutes on shutdown and 20+ minutes on next startup, requiring multiple reboots: nothing has changed.

    Linux: Runs update for 5-10 minutes when you want it to update, changes basically the whole OS and adds a metric shit-ton of features and doesn't even care if you reboot or not.

      Longest update for me was ~5 minutes in W10, mostly new definitions for the Defender and security patches. You can consult the property of the updates in the M$ page and also undo the last update, if you want. Memes of Windows are nice, but this one was valid 15 years ago, back then it was true that you could die in an update, but not now.

        On powerful PC's, yeah, my home PC is a rather powerful one and it would take me around a couple minutes to update.

        However, I remember two years ago having to use Windows 10 on a school PC (which was a crappy thinkpad) and it took around 1.5 hours to update after I did the mistake of arriving too early and deciding to update the laptop as "might as well, got nothing better to do", then not being able to do anything for 1 hour.

        Though admittedly, the laptop wasn't updated for a while (guessing around half a year?) so it probably was catching up to updates.
