I boot my Linux desktop to game once in a while. I'll usually patch it and reboot it first. I have fast internet and I'd be blown away if it ever took more than 5 minutes. Windows, however... Holy shit. Some updates or upgrades take hours.
My opinion is that linux's biggest issue is vendor support. Imagine if vendors supported Linux like they do windows. It would be a substantially better OS to use. Imagine adobe and ms office just ran out of the box no problem. Who would want to use windows? It's so bad now.
over and a while?
