Linux takes *far* less time to install and update than doze.
I can easily have a fully functional system with all necessary
tools installed to HD in less than 30 minutes.  Or I could just
live boot in be up and running with all tools in a matter of
seconds.

Irrelevant.  Windoze is not installed on the machine in question.

Logic is not your strong suit, is it?  While owning/driving a Rolls might
be an indicator that a person is well off financially, your pathetic
attempts to show that someone is *not* wealthy based on their driving an
inexpensive car are completely invalid.
