| But it does play a part if you are forced through lengthy updates and reboots. I was stuck on a 1.3mbits/s link and waited a day for a dist update that never happened. I walked away from Windows then, and came back 6 years later. Win 10 on spinner and older hardware with 2gb ram. This originally was touted as a frugal os. Took a day and a half of updates on a faster connection. The machine then was so slow and CPU sucking when idle, I couldn't do anything with it. A browser would down it. Totally unusable. Gave in, had Debian on it within an hour and it is okay with chromium, but still 2gb limits it heavily. But at least it works. Casts mind back to win98 era, and same hardware would fly. So if stable, and no reboots don't care so much. They killed hibernate in Windows for a faster boot didn't they? I have vista on a ten year laptop, and that is quite fast to boot, but now unsupported and breaks. |
