Windows is installing update 2 of 48...

Yeah, that was back in the WinVista/7/8/8.1 days, it doesn't show the number of updates any more. Plus, a lot of the updates are cumulative, they abandoned their earlier model.

And, I have to admit, the update process is a lot faster now and a lot less error prone.

Huh didn't think of that.

Admittedly, when you run apt-update on a freshly installed system, you get a whole lot more updates. But at least they finish in a a few seconds, compared to Windows's somewhere between now and the end of time. Who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The are no forced updates ever, no forced restarts, and by golly no multiple restarts.

Admittedly, good point. I completely forgot by now how annoying the experience was :)
