Re: Founder of Gentoo Daniel Robbins: "I actually try to avoid using Linux on the desktop"

I just spent about three hours getting my wife's desktop to boot and
update to the newest Windows 11 update (which is why I suspect it locked
up in the first place). Once I got Windows to boot (by disconnecting the
hard drive and removing it from the "boot choice" in the BIOS — it took
an hour and a half to download the update and install it — than about
another ten minutes after rebooting... doing something or other. This is
on a 10th generation Intel CPU, with 40 GBs of RAM, using an NVMe SSD,
with an Internet speeds of about 650 Mbps. Heaven knows how long it
would have taken with slower Internet, an older CPU and 8 GBs of RAM.
