on linux? nah.

try using windows on a machine that old if you want to know the true meaning of slow. it will always be updating something meaningless like edge in the background on top of it.

I love having it idle at 100% for 30 mins, fan at max, just to update some windows nonsense. Updating 500 packages on linux is done in 5 mins including the download. Like how do you even manage to make the update process THAT bad if not on purpose? I am baffled by that. It's a thinkpad dual core i7 with an SSD. It only runs Debian now thankfully.

right? i literally can't fathom it and i'm not even counting all the crap 3rd parties insist in adding as always running system services for some damn reason. linux was a godsend to switch to.
