I mean if you start with Ubuntu LTS 18.04 and try to update it to 22.04, you will be in for a ride, especially on real hardware.



Well I also thought about it. However there is a difference. When I download Linux i know if it is outdated. I see date, i see version.

With windows, when I entered download site I did not know if it is missing anything, or not.

I installed windows 10 ISO, how should I know how outdated it is.

As Linux minut user I had no update problems whatever, even going from older releases. It did not take me 2 days.


You can easily check Windows version by looking at the properties of setup.exe. The command prompt you can invoke during installation also shows it. And I bet it shows up during setup as well.
