I haven’t used Windows in like 20 years but it’s funny they still haven’t gotten around to fixing percentages. I remember stuff like this from the Windows XP days.
Same. Except I still have to keep that garbage dump OS on my work laptop. I would not be surprised to find rooms filled with bonobo chimps, hammering away at keyboards inside their offices, "working on updates".
For a boring stop, I ended up on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.
It's not too boring, and at the same time, once you set it up, it just works and does what you ask it to.
It's also very drama-free, not taking radical and controversial steps and not breaking someone's workflow.
In case something got broken anyways, rollback functionality is set up nicely out of the box on btrfs systems, and snapshots are automatically taken before any updates.
This rollback functionality, along with extensive automated testing of all packages in the official repos, also makes it pretty much the only stress-free rolling release experience.
Mark Z. Danielewski for the win. House of Leaves is superb; 50 Year Sword is interesting, but doesn't quite scratch the itch. I see he's got something new out this year as well, will need to check it out.
At one point, it'll reach 666%, and then the color scheme changes, and also now you'll be betting Windows 666 instead, whih is Windows 11 without all the bloat and with satanic imagery.

Most loading bars I know nowadays just are timed and have no connection to the thing loading.
So you just double the time it takes to get to the next percentage.
0.1 second for the first
2.4 seconds for the 9 to 10%
It will take hours to get from 99 to 100.
But it just completes when it is actually done.

I just let chatgpt rerun the numbers and it says it will take 300 billion years to get from 99 to 100.
Lol

Oh! So is that what bloatware is?

I got out that fucking racket after years of hibernating my computer to stop updates.
currently distro hopping, moving from ubuntu MATE + studio to bazzite, with a route through vanilla debian mountains and maybe arriving at pika os

Many people find Debian to be a "boring" OS. After years of distrohopping some come to the conclusion that a boring OS is exactly what they want.

For all I remember, Timeshift only supports /home snapshots, which won't help to revert the system. Could be wrong though.
I'm happy you're happy about your distro, though!

I've been using that excuse for years.
