my updates take about 10 seconds on a shutdown, feature updates maybe 5 minutes. Personally I don't mind that, but if things like that are important to you so be it...

Yeah can't say windows 10 updated have been long slow experiences for us on our 3 machines either.

Maybe your computer is a P.O.S ? My computers haven't slowed down at all due to updates.

Hmmm....either that or is too oriented towards cheap, (and perhaps consequently nasty), rather than good ?

P4s were pretty fast in their time but I wouldn't recommend running W10 on one.

Corect. Only kernal and grub updates need a reboot

Correct. The only time you do need to reboot after a linux update is when the kernel or grub are updated.

Updates are run in Super User account mode leaving the the Userr to carry on doing their thing. Super User mode can be accessed any time in a separate tty(full screen termial) by pressing the Alt and F1 through F6 or virtual terminal on the users Desktop as and when needed. Just log in as su.In other words no special "God" mode..
