I haven’t felt that in years, especially with multicore+decent amounts of ram. Windows can update in the background and its not even noticeable anymore (IMO).
It is on low end hardware. My dual core thinkpad sits at 100% CPU utilization when it does windows updates. IMO this alone makes Windows unusable on that machine. Now it runs Debian flawlessly and I mostly just boot it up to print something on my old HP printer that’s been running on the same refilled cartridge for years now. I possess the only good HP printer left in the world I feel like.

And that is what i hate the most. It wont even tell you its updating and in the end you see no shutdown button but only update and shutdown.
Oh have limited network speed or data? Dontcare+wontask+fuckyou

Is your dual core still supported by windows? That must be ancient, in which case Linux would be your only option?
