I'm currently finishing up getting parts for a new PC build, which will have Windows 11, and I really dread it. But that is an 8 year old XBox One and it finally has crapped out on me. I eventually just switch to an old Xbox (ironically, still Microsoft), which was far more reliable (although XBox updates take forever too), because we could cross-play Apex Legends.

I used to game weekly with my friends, and because of the above problem, I would have to turn on my computer the night before and start the update so I would be able to reliably play a game the following day - otherwise, there was an extremely good chance that they would start gaming at 8pm and I wouldn't be able to join until roughly 10pm due to the Windows updates.Īt the time, this was Windows 10. My previous experience with Windows (~3 years ago) was that every single update took ~2 hours to complete, and they were asking to update weekly.

You should be able to just run the installer in the background as you're using your device, and eventually be told 'when you reboot, it'll be into the new OS.' Which, given the 'create aside' part especially, is just ridiculous.

Like a `btrfs receive`.īut for some reason, despite all that fancy tech, it's still slow and the install process still requires rebooting into a separate Recovery OS to do parts of the installation. They should only have to write out disk pages for the changes, and then just link the existing pages in to form the rest of the extents. That doesn't imply it should be slow that should imply it should be fast.Īt least, given that macOS is using a copy-on-write filesystem such that you can share blocks between multiple volumes/snapshots - which it is and that the OS base-image is a sealed 'everyone has the same cryptographic checksum' volume - which it is and that Apple are using a binary-diff-based 'create aside' OS-image update process, like ChromiumOS/CoreOS - which they are. I get that Apple doesn't like burdening users with too much technical information (as in 'any') but given how significantly the Settings app has changed I'm surprised there was no Release notes or feature tour of any kind.

Sorta neat, can I configure some things differently thoughįunnily enough I had just started reading the Ars Technica review when the upgrade took place so that helped with navigating the changes but it was an oddly jarring transition. Hello I am Stage Manager, I put a desktop on your desktop so you can work while you work Yikes but OK this is sorta well laid out I guess Oh hai I'm called Settings now and I reorganized everything OK here is your familiar desktop, I am not telling you what has changed

Oh it's you again, do you want to share analytics with us Here is some unfamiliar wallpaper but you can log in I guess OK hello I am back but I need 10 minutes of alone time I guess it's a metaphor for life, which is how long this seems to be taking The progress bar also moves backwards sometimes HA HA I LIED I'M READY TO TERMINATE EVERYTHING BYEEEEĥ reboots with just an Apple icon and a progress bar The update is cool but the update process was not.
