I booted an old win 10 laptop the other day to see if it still worked. It has a GPU so I thought it might be nice for a few light games while I travel. Immediately started screaming about updates and all the normal windows stuff.
I booted to Bazzite from a flash drive and had it installed in like 20 minutes. Runs like a dream now. It's amazing to see what that old hardware can do without Windows choking it.
It's so easy now to run an option that doesn't suck.
so you could have updated a windows machine in 5 minutes, but you have installed bazzite in 20 mins
People avoiding updating windows because of how long it takes your machine out of commission for and how opaque the process is has been a meme since like Windows XP. It's never five minutes. Plus the future hours saved not having to deal with windows bullshit.
