Did you have an SSD on your PC ~3 years ago? I never found it to be that bad or for it to take that long!

I kicked off the Ventura update today on the M1 Pro, went out to get lunch, it had finished by the time I got back.

I've been on the 'insider preview' track on Windows 10 and 11 for around 18 months. You get big updates maybe 2-4 times per month and they do take around 20 minutes to install.

Stick on the regular updates track, make sure you get an SSD, and your new Windows 11 experience will be fine just fine :) Check out WSL too, it is pretty good. I'm split on Linux vs Windows vs MacOS for development, it's all a game of tradeoffs. The trick is to have a few computers!
