Never had an update take 2 hours. Maybe if your using a computer from 2005.

I had an update take 3 and half hours on a 2019 laptop with a ryzen 5 3550h, 16gb of ddr4 ram and an nvme ssd.

So I moves to gentoo where if unlucky and qtwebengine needs to comiplie the update takes 5+ hours. ๐Ÿ˜Œ

Low-end hardware, under-specced hardware, etc. I had so many problems getting a client's Surface tablet to install updates in a timely fashion because it shipped with only 64GB of storage, which turns out not to be enough for a Windows 10 install + an office suite + download space for updates. The best part is, Microsoft designed the Surface.
