    I maintain a small Windows dual boot for taking certification exams (that don’t run on Linux). It’s torture to update it once every 6 months. 3-4 hours requiring multiple reboots.

      You can use Chris titus util to delay the feature updates and keep security updates. That’s what I did for my dual-boot

        That’s what I’ve done (Use MassGravel for Enterprise version of 11 because fuck it why not for best results?) and haven’t had any issues with Windows 11 since. Had to hop back on my Windows SSD for a game that just came out and had one update after a whole year of running strictly Linux!

            😂it takes a fucking day to install all updates on the new PCs i set up at my workplace and download speed on our side is definitely not the bottleneck

            At least it does the heavy lifting in background so my coworkers don’t realise how slow it is, but maybe it is by design, so that it doesn’t impact workflow 🤷🏻

            But definitely not what i call “fast"
