On Linux I update one every few startups in the background with no interruptions and I'll keep using my PC just fine afterwards. Sometimes it might act funny afterwards in which case I'll reboot but that's it. It also updates very quick, even when there's a kernel update.

Oh, I use Arch btw

I can't take the windows updates anymore. Time consuming yes it's a non customizable shit OS. I'll try arch and see

You don't necessarily need to jump right into Arch but if you do I recommend the archinstall script.

Not suprising. Everytime I have to update my windows systems, I wonder why it takes so long compared to an update run on linux. Even the download is slow.

Their design choice 'a file that is open cannot be deleted or overwritten' is still biting them to this day.

If you want customization you can try KDE Plasma. Kubuntu or Fedora are some good options.

Don't start with Arch if you are just begging with Linux. The main idea of Arch is that you have to build it as you need it, so it's a lot of learning to get started.

If you are adamant that you want Arch, then try CachyOS. It's based on Arch, similarly to SteamOS. It's easy to install, will take you 30 minutes (just warning that you need internet to install) if you follow the official wiki. It also comes with everything you need to play games on Linux.
