“Only thing I hate about Windows is frequent and slow updates.”

OK, this is what you WILL like about updates. It does not give you the “Checking for updates” every time it starts up. Depending on how you want your updates or even not want any updates it does it all in the background later after you are already booted up and using it. You never even know it is happening. It boots up, you go to work, and it does all that in the background without bothering you.

And the best thing? It only updates what is absolutely needed. It doesn’t hand you a bunch of crap and setting changes you do not need or want. And you can shut off updates indefinitely if you want. And after it gives you a reminder you can go pick through the updates and choose what you want updated or not. You are not forced to into the windows style update requirement and hold up keeping you from using it.

I have run into situations during update where i can’t turn off the computer until the update is done- but other than that- updates are always very quick- easy- in the background, and a real treat compared to the slow clunky updates with windows- and the resulting fixes to correct what it breaks afterwards-

Absolutely! Windows is like a freakin virus these days- changing things you set every time-

I’m just prayign for the chance to run windows with full GPU on linux so i can finally throw windows where it belongs, in the trash
