FreeBSD takes three (!) restarts for upgrading between releases, even point releases (e.g. 11.3->11.4).
Steps are:
1. Upgrade kernel -> Restart
2. Upgrade system programs and libraries -> Restart
3. Replace all user software with one built for the new release -> Restart -
C0D4682465yWindows with a ssd takes seconds 😂
I don't even see that screen anymore.
Might be time for an upgrade, windows getting hardware heavy despite claiming it can "work" on low end PCs.
I guess they are right, it does work.... very badly. -

False. My windows parsec machine has 32gb of ram and all its storage is nvme. It takes 30-45 minutes to do a major update. -
C0D4682465y@bahua ok 2 hours to download.
But from hitting restart to being back to the login screen for 1903 release
total time: 6 min 37 seconds
Not quite a few seconds but if you hit reboot walk away make a coffee and come back it's done 🤷♂️ -
lucaIO12235yThis is just calling for everyone to recommend Linux, so where are you "BTW I use arch" people?
-
lucaIO12235y@Haxk20 I can confirm that. Running manjaro on a cheap SSD on shitty old hardware and updates run entire worlds faster than on windows on the same machine. But to each their own I guess

lucaIO12235y@Haxk20 This is literally the argument I always bring up around my friends lol. For my part it is even easier as I neither game nor can I afford adobe software

bahua129155yMy plan, once we move into a bigger house where my office won't also double as my daughter's nursery, will be to run windows with a GPU passthrough, and eliminate the dedicated parsec machine(which I barely ever use anyway. I update it more than I ever play anything on it) so I can buy nicer hardware.
