What the FUCK is Microsoft's problem? Do they host their update servers in fucking Bangalore? What causes this bullshit and why the fuck doesn't Microsoft do anything about it?
I have everything on one drive and W10 takes like maybe 5 minutes to update
Aiden Adams
Thanks, you just reminded me to update. Or he's just not autistic about muh GNU+Linux
To be honest, I don't mind the windows updates in my workplace that much. There are lots and lots of other reasons to not use it though. I think many professionals share this sentiment.
Friendly Reminder: Another thread died for this generic "Fuck Windows, Use linux" shit. We have dozens of these daily. As well as the "Fuck Linux, use Windows" threads. It's all so tiresome.

It has nothing to do with the speed of the servers. Windows update is just retardedly computationally expensive on the computer it runs on. Even though microsoft probably has better CDNs than your favorite linux distro, updates still take much longer because the time to install them dwarfs the time to download them.

David Hall
takes me like 2 seconds, must be your network speed that is the bottleneck. Pretty sure I can max out my 300mbit connection on them, with no real latency to start. Update usually takes me like 30 seconds, and I shut down my computer everynight so I dont even notice them happening.

Only windows 7 (and probably 8.1) update is fucked up and it takes many hours to search for updates on fresh install, on windows 10 the updates are really fast and it comes with .net framework 4.7 and other stuff preinstalled.

Very disturbing case. Turning my phone OFF next time i'm pulled over then dropped it between my seat where you literally cannot retrieve it without totally flattening your hand to a painful degree and gradually inching it toward you for like 10 minutes.

Cooper Rodriguez
How do they know he has CP in his HD if they didnt breach it? Did this retard download via torrent or something?
Gavin Bailey
But that's not what they're saying. The amendment is that you cannot be made to incriminate yourself. So using it as a defense means that the drive does contain incriminating evidence.
You should be using a different excuse that doesn't imply guilt.
Brody Richardson
Yes, this does mean you are guilty of something. But they cant PROVE it, if they cant prove it they shouldnt be allowed to jail you.
David Watson
I modified this source to permanently and irrecoverably destroy an encrypted drive once physical security is breached. but if they are raiding your place then they probably already know what is on that drive.
The amendment is designed to specifically to protect the innocent. Consider this scenario: Police wrongly accuse you of computer related crimes, and you truthfully deny your involvement and hand over your hard drive password because you have nothing to hide. After a thorough data recovery process, they find child porn images because some faggot spammed Jow Forums with underage girls and those pictures were saved on your cache. Now you're charged with perjury and possessing CP because of a crime someone else committed. This is why the 5th exists, and the fact that judges routinely shit on it is nothing short of tyranny.
Landon Carter
Your lawyer would suck absolute dick if he couldn't defend you in that situation.
Joseph Cruz
Most people can't afford really good lawyers and have to work with public defenders that are likely to look at your case for 10 minutes and tell you to plead guilty. You're MUCH better off having plead the 5th.
Ryan King
during my unfortunate brush with the legal system, 2 other guys and I were denied our 6 amendment right to legal counsel and were forced to plead out.
you are a fool if you expect the constitution to protect you from a corrupt and predatory legal system, if you cannot afford 10-20k to have a lawyer to say the magic words to get your case dismissed then the system will treat you as harshly and unfairly as it possibly can.
Austin Ramirez
>update windows >click one single button >update downloads in the background >it installs when you reboot your PC It's not like Windows Update is a blocking operation, retard.

I completely agree with you. There's always a real possibility you will have your human and constitutional rights ignored if you lack the capital to buy your way into justice; this thread being case in point.
Wyatt Cooper

Benjamin Young
It's literally your fault if you prefer to eat shitty food instead of taking three minutes looking for better alternatives. The same applies here, nigger-kun.
Connor Wright
Regardless of the distro I choose, I won't escape Xorg being an absolute shitshow, whatever I use for audio somehow not working, and literally all DEs being shit one way or another. There are no alternatives, it's just the GNU way. Rather than making one thing properly, let's make 20 of them, all of them garbage, but when you run into any issue, the users of other garbage will tell you it's due to your shitty choice.

MS Update literally works with p2p so it's like bittorrent, you're also serving files as you download them.
Yes I'm serious, look it up yourself if you doubt me. It probably throttles your DL speed so you're forced to seed longer.
Anthony Wood

Cameron Morris
LTSC does not have this problem. >tfw manual security/performance updates when you want that take 10 minutes
Ian Garcia
You can turn that off, I have it turned off. That's certainly not why MS updates are slow, they're slow because of the slow installation process not because of the download process.
Colton Morales
Maybe that's because when you update in Linux you just install newer versions of some obscure libraries? For an actual analogy, try updating from Ubuntu 18.04 to 19.04.

I am talking about ubuntu. Xubuntu, lubuntu etc. Tried it maybe 3 or 4 times, apt-get would just break x or whatever. Boot into a wallpaper and nothing else. Guess I'll throw it out and try again in a few years... In a few years... Oh it happened again
Jose Anderson
That doesn't sound familiar. Did you fall for the Nvidia meme?
It wasn't the same thing every time. Different every time actually. UI would lose contents, panic messages on boot, something that would prevent me from using everything besides CLI, and the problem was so generic and out of nowhere searching for a solution was a shitfest.

Andrew Mitchell
I'm no expert but problems with X and graphics sound like they could come from the GPU drivers. Try Debian, it should be almost impossible to crash it unless something is very much wrong.
Leo Smith
Usually it happened during a distro upgrade. I don't think I've EVER has a successful distro upgrade.
Caleb Turner
>Usually it happened during a distro upgrade. I see, it has happened to me too. The problem with Ubuntu is that their version naming forces a certain schedule. The version is always Year.Month and it's always either 10th month or 04. That means they have to get the new version out if that month is coming, no matter how unstable it is. It's pretty dumb way to handle it and people shouldn't upgrade immediately, wait a while for the bugs to be filed off.
I've changed to a rolling release model where there are no large updates, every package upgrades when there's something to upgrade so the changes are smaller. I use Debian Unstable which is their rolling release version. I'm also not the one who recommended vanilla Ubuntu.

You've obviously got an SSD. Increasing performance by orders of magnitude does make Windows faster, but it's not an excuse for Windows being slow in the first place.
Jose Ward
but that's the point, it ain't slow anymore. Win7 was slow due to how the update system was so shit. even there you can use the "Update Readiness" package then updates install within like 2 hours tops.
> having SSD is an excuse BRUH... when they cost like fucking 30$, it's an excuse to not fucking have one.
Kayden Stewart
Most GNU/Linux distros update orders of magnitude faster than Windows. Windows has shitty, incredibly slow IO. You're exaggerating how fast it is, too.
Asher Hill
You're also on a fresh install of Windows 10, which isn't comparable to someone who upgraded from 7 or 8. I've managed to upgrade from Debian 4 to Debian 9 without any stupid issues like Windows upgrades introduce.
Easton Jackson
I cba to benchmark it but Windows 10 with the CUMulative updates do update fast. I mean, if you check HDD speeds, an Ubuntu 18.04 also takes forever to update.
> Debian GNU/Linux 4.0r9 was released May 22nd, 2010 > NT 4.0 Initial release date: August 24, 1996
IT'S OKAY. Like mate, I don't mind if you want to shit on a system. But pick your fights. The updates are fine, the upgrade path is fucking fine. It works. Yes, the spyware shit is awful, the constant nagware and stuff is awful. But the updates? Fuck off.
Angel Diaz
>What the FUCK is Microsoft's problem? windows is too big to be rewritten from scratch code base is now legacy modern code and practice might not work correctly with old code base dev turnover is too fast management/shareholders want profit, devs want time, this results in status quo and nothing can change.

Linux is a small hobbyist project.
Windows is a 30 year old industry standard.
Of course Linux updates are smaller.
James Clark
>That's the gnufag mentality. Whenever anything breaks, it's always the user's fault. That's why nobody uses this garbage. BUT. YOU. DON'T. HAVE. TO. UPDATE. GENIUS. You can also take a look at forums before doing so to check if other users are reporting issues.
Ryder Martinez
Etch was released in 2007, not 2010, retard debian.org/releases/etch/. That's like saying that Windows 7 was released in 2020 because support ended in 2020. Windows 7 was released in 2009 and updating to Windows 10 is a nightmare, and takes forever. Compared to Debian where you can literally upgrade while using your system in minutes with no real issues.
William Martinez
And an average Debian user can easily upgrade from Etch to Stretch. It's literally no different than minor updates within a release. No crazy splash screens you have to sit at for hours. The average Windows user absolutely cannot upgrade from NT 4.0 to Windows 10. Even power users find upgrading from XP to 7 or 7 to 10 to be extremely unpleasant and recommend a clean install to avoid tons of pitfalls and issues.
Charles Howard
This whole "clean install" is a meme, just like the "you have to reinstall every X month" shit in the XP era. Things, that were just not true at all.
Of course at first I followed these dumb tips at the XP era. But guess what. Once I realized it's fucking dumb, I just kept my system. And wow, it didn't slow down, it didn't break. Fucking magic.
> can't upgrade I manage networks, company IT infrastructures, and we had NO problems with XP, 7, 8 upgrades to 10 WHATSOEVER. Nothing. N O T H I N G.
I know we read a lot on the internet. Upgrades don't work, healing crystals, fluoride is a government plan to poison the citizens, etc. But you don't have to believe everything you read mate.
I mean, look at the video. What does the user do there? Just upgrades. It literally JUST WORKS. You believe its bullshit? Prove me wrong. Grab an XP, install some apps, and upgrade. Only time you would have to wipe is if you wanted to do 32->64bit. But oh wait, you have to do that on Linux as well.
RIP.
James Lewis
It is true, I've ran into issues personally updating. If you haven't, then you don't have a particularly well-used computer. For example, I ran into an issue where the Windows 10 upgrade process froze indefinitely for hours and hours until I killed a process with task manager. There were many others online with the same issue.
There are also various things that break that may or may not be related to being an upgrade install. All the advice you get from microsoft support forums is useless shit like DISM and suggesting a clean install. Windows users have a culture of not reporting bugs because of how rarely they get fixed.
Thomas Reed
I've been using ubuntu for almost a year on my lap and honestly, the updates always go fucking smooth, nothing ever brioke. Meanwhile updating windows on my pc, is fucking slow as shit and something always breaks.
Alexander Sanchez
>There are also various things that break that may or may not be related to being an upgrade install. For example, google error 2502 and 2503. This is a permissions issue that occurs when installing or unistalling msi based software. It's been around since Windows 7 and is still present in Windows 10. I strongly suspect this is related to being an upgrade issue since people have reported that a clean install fixes it. There are tons of workarounds available online, like running the msi through an administrator cmd prompt or adding a run-as-administrator right click menu, or granting your user full access to the Windows/Temp or Windows/Installer folder (which is a terrible idea). Anyone who wants the real solution has no choice but to make a clean install of Windows 10 and check the correct permissions of those folders themselves, since it's not fucking documented anywhere. Obviously the correct permissions aren't to grant normal users full access.
