    How the fuck. I seriously want to know. My W11 IoT installed under half an hour.

      Did you also get most of the extra software installed at the same time or did you need to spend extra time getting all your non-OS software installed to make your computer actually useful?

        Windows itself was installed during that time. Additional software installation took a few minutes. I installed stuff when I needed it thorough the day.

          So nothing to really make Windows actually useful on reboot. In nearly the same amount of time with a Linux distro, you get a system that may well not need anything extra to be productive with on 1rst reboot.

          (And yes, I have installed both OS systems from scratch dating back to dos).

            I need to install all of my apps under Linux as well. Doesn’t make much of a difference. I don’t like the default browser, media player, torrent client, office suite, etc. that Mint ships with for example.
