In Microsoft's defense, at least the Windows 10 updates are now quick. Last week a minor patch for MacOS took 30 minutes on a 2019 Macbook Pro.

The four hours I spent cleaning up my dad's laptop last week beg to differ. I had enough time to make and eat dinner while it was updating, rebooting, and then cleaning up the updates. Maybe he hadn't updated in a while?

I made him a small Linux partition after clearing up enough space, and now everything runs so much faster that he refuses to boot back into Windows.

That shouldn’t make much of a difference, we only accept it as an excuse because it’s been the norm for so long.
