      It looks like one of those case studies showing ADHD vs. normal actions

      Edit: It was an ADHD case study, but it was the same student watching a math lecture vs. watching Star Wars

    The meme is wrong, the Linux user finished the install at minute 2 and left the room to do other things.

    I fucking hate how Windows makes you sit through it downloading and installing updates before you get to use it.

    I know you can bypass it but you shouldn’t have to.

      Debian and Ubuntu installers do the same thing, and have for quite some time. You can cancel when you see it start grabbing apt sources, or just be offline.

        It doesn’t take forever tho. Because it just goes directly to the latest package versions.

        Also I recall there being checkbox on whether to do it when starting the install if you’re online. No need to override the system into allowing you to do an offline install.

          It can take forever, depending how many packages have changed since release, and mirror speed. Also pretty sure there’s no checkbox, though that could have changed at some point.

          (Fwiw, I’m not here to say “Windows good” or anything.)

          I had trash wifi reception, and it took over an hour

      Is that a W11 thing? I hate 10 is unusable for a long time after “finishing” due to the updates bogging down there system, to then require a reboot before installing more updates! I’m sure last time in needed 2 reboots after reaching the desktop to fully complete

        I just did a fresh install of 10 alongside Pop on one of my machines and 10 was perfectly usable immediately after initial installation. As it updated, I used ninite, installed GPU drivers, and ran OOSU10 for the first time (again after updates.)

        Windows sucks now but it’s anything but unusable after install. And it’s not because my machine is poweful—the processor and mobo are 13+ years old and it’s got DDR3.

        Yes. When installing windows 11, it does not show you a desktop before it has updated everything. Which depending on how many updates have come out since the ISO, and your connection, can take HOURS.

        Yes.

        I only ever install windows for other people these days, and having that take longer than it needs to is by far my biggest gripe.

        The ads are a solved problem for me, in that I don’t personally use windows.

      I love that it was originally adhd, this is probably exactly what I look like working in an office. Explains why my chair is all creeky and weird. Sit on my foot, dont sit on my foot, sit on my other foot, spin around, get up, sit down/ plop down. Im going to break my chair and my boss is going to say something to me.
