TechConnectify@mas.to - Oh my gosh I just figured it out.
Okay, all you open source evangelist people: your knee-jerk reaction to come at people who are talking about a problem with whatever commercial software they use and suggest Your Favorite Alternatives™ is exactly like saying "why don't you just buy a house?" to someone complaining about their landlord.
TechConnectify@mas.to - Actually, to borrow from @DoubleA, it's worse than that.
It's like talking to someone who is in a crappy apartment as though they have the agency and skills to stake out a plot of land and build their own home.
You have to be at peace with the fact that some people just want to exist and not worry about so many things. And they still have a right to complain about their situation.

It only took me...
-checks notes-
5 hours to upgrade from Windows 10 to 11.
The installer is trash. Literally requires everything but the OS disk attached to the machine.
do you do this regularly? and if so, why?
don't get me wrong, plenty of things need troubleshooting in Windows, too. but a one time upgrade taking a bit too long isn't exactly a persistent problem.
No, but it was still a similar experience to what others had in Linux in this post. Honestly never had an update be a problem on a Linux machine. It also wasn't it taking long. It provides a generic error that could mean 100 different things and I had to troubleshoot to find which one it was.
Also, last time I tried installing Windows 10, I gave up trying to make the graphics drivers work properly. IDK what the hell the issue was, but Ubuntu is a lot more plug-and-play for me than that - the proper graphics drivers were included out of the box!
