Tech rant time.

So I recently bought a new ASUS laptop with Windows 8. Since I had no use for Windows on my old desktop, I set up a dual boot with Linux Mint 15.

To install system updates in Windows 8, I have to:

  1. Wait for the updates to download
  2. Shut down Windows
  3. Wait another 10 minutes while it “configures updates” at the boot screen
  4. Restart the computer (Which can take some time, considering the hard drive on my laptop runs at 5400 RPM.)
  5. More “configuring updates”, this time for only about 30 seconds

And then I’m finally at my lockscreen.

For Mint 15, I have to:

  1. Wait for the updates to download
  2. Open the Update Center
  3. Click the Install button

And that’s it. No rebooting, I can go back to whatever I was doing as soon as I hit the install button. 

From what I’ve read, this has been a feature in all Linux distros for quite a while. Microsoft might just learn a thing or two from a FREE operating system.

That being said, I still like my laptop and Windows 8 is actually surprisingly useful. It’s a bit of a learning curve from Windows 7, but it’s not impossible to learn.
