  • Let’s compare the update process when you want to shutdown your computer:

    Windows:

    1. Doesn’t leave you the choice: your getting updated now, deal with it
    2. Starts to update
    3. Reboots, update for 2 minutes (wasn’t that bad)
    4. Reboots again, updates for 15 minutes (come on man, I’m gonna miss my train !)
    5. Reboots AGAIN ! continue and eventually finishes the update
    6. Shutdown

    Fedora:

    1. We have downloaded updates, do you want to Install them before shutdown?
    2. Not this time, thank you
    3. Shutdown Or if you do let it install, reboots always just once, updates 2 minutes, done.

    If you have disk encryption or bitlocker, you just can’t let the PC update unattended. Not knowing how many times windows needs to reboot for this update is hella annoying.





  • I guess this depends where you live and what professions your are applying for. In my region and field, a cover letter goes with saying. It always has been like that, ever since I was looking for summer jobs, and continues to be the standard.

    It normal does work with USB3, yes. And no, this pendrive works perfectly fine and I’ve used it to install many other OSes since.

    Edit: and I might add that I finally found the solution online so I was definitely not the only one confronted to this problem

    Installing regular Windows 10/11 is definitely more than twice as painful than installing Debian 12.

    Once, I was trying to install Windows 10 and wasted an entire day! The installation would systematically fail at the beginning of the installation with a BS error message that doesn’t give any hint about what’s going wrong. In the end it just didn’t like USB3 as an installation media! I reflashed it to a USB2 and it worked, but OMG was it super slow ! It took literally hours to install !!!

    Debian, even as a noobie, you’ll go from flashing your ISO to a booted system within an hour. If you’ve done it once before, you will get it done in 20 minutes.
