You're kidding me, right? https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/log/trunk?h...
There's sometimes weeks before node is updated.
Updating PostgreSQL from 9.6.1 to 9.6.2 took 4 months.
And right now .net core build is failing on my archlinux test server.

If you want latest - use macOS with brew

Install git without requiring root privileges... Also git is a 3rd party application, yet somehow all distros treat git as part of base system/OS bundle/whatever, so Fedora 25 has set version of 2.9, 24 of 2.7, etc. WHY. WHY. It's third party software, not part of your god damn OS - there should be only one version of git in the repos for ALL FEDORA VERSIONS - and that would be the latest... Come the fuck on.
Replace "git" with every other package....
Linux is so amateur hour with all plainly stupid decisions, I'd rather pay good money for proper unix.

Because we solve practical problems, and do not nit pick of what is technically correct. We are not drones and easily understand that in this context it's megabytes.
Just look at all that "technically it's mebibytes bla bla bla" in replies. No one cares. Write some code. Or better - go outside.

Original comment sounds more like google's shill comment, to be honest. Because iPhones take pictures instantly too (although they have a quick ui feedback), and it's either hard to believe that attendant never touched iPhone, which is, like, well, the most popular phone ever; or it's indeed that pixel doesn't indicate in any way that it has taken the picture.

Well, you haven't seen Windows then - the graphics stack is phenomenal and a marvel of engineering. nVidia drivers crash? I only get a second of black screen and then resume my work. Yep, that's right - no other GUI program crashed, I didn't had to do anything, literally just 1 second of black screen.
Oh and you can have one window on two monitors and both parts of window will have full vsync - insane, huh? :)
It's scary how good Windows is.

I'd take Intel CPU that runs 120 FPS average over AMD that runs 130 FPS average, when lowest FPS for Intel drops to 100 FPS and for AMD it drops to 80 FPS...

Except for telemetry - I think after using Linux, Windows is confusing to you, because I don't have Cortana and still can search for files, don't see ads.
Understandable, as Windows is not *nix, you should just RTFM.

Could you elaborate? search for what?

Good, otherwise we'd end up with bazillion window managers that get you 80% of "stuff" in bazillion different ways, but none do the other 20%.
