gollark: I can just update every week with no major problems. Well, as long as I occasionally look at the "manual intervention required" newsfeed.
gollark: I'm on a second-hand laptop from, what, 2017? I value having my computer not randomly waste CPU cycles.
gollark: Also doesn't install Candy Crush randomly.
gollark: It's not just that - Linux has scripting, generally has less overhead, supports some development tooling better, and may actually be capable of running on more devices.
gollark: It manages something like 17 seconds boot time from kernel init to *usable desktop* (I think it might include connecting to Wifi, not sure); I do not control the firmware step and can't do much to the bootloader.
