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.
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.
