@vastone - That was the first thing I thought. I can (have) let Debian Testing and Sid sit for a month without doing an upgrade then essentially upgrade the entire system in about 15-20 min without much issue. Sid may break now and again, but 3-4 days later the fix comes through; and if it does totally bork, I can reinstall the entire system and back-up files in less time it took me to do the Windows 10 updates.
I had to spend about 90-min looking for, and applying the fix to un-freeze Windows Update. Then go through the: Searching for, Downloading, Preparing to, and Applying upgrades routines for Windows three times.
@riV - the Windows 10 laptop is mainly for my oldest to do her school work - although she prefers to work on the older Windows 7/VSIDO dual boot desktop. I'll have to get her to use VSIDO for her youtube viewing. If only I could log onto the school network with Linux
The wife needs Windows for work because of QA/QC contractual requirements. I was hoping that when NASA moved to Debian Stable, the rest of the US government would follow to cut their costs of deployment. The Debian QA/QC of moving from Sid -> Testing -> Stable matches up well with most Govt. and private sector QA/QC. Unfortunately USA is wedded to MS and Apple so there hasn't been a big shift to open source solutions like we see elsewhere.
