Ironically; he complains about how it takes gigabytes and gigabytes of space, and not much seems to have changed.

Two can play at that game. Have you ever tried upgrading Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04? Or tried going from Fedora 35 to 37?

Gigabytes of space required and not too much appears to have changed! Gasp!

I would mention, package transactions can be surprisingly efficient

Most of what's fetched/installed replaces bits... and the package caches can trivially be cleaned after (if not implicitly; I haven't looked close).

Windows installations in my experience have grown rather unbounded by comparison.

I can upgrade Linux with 5% disk free - on Windows I'd have anxiety.
