I nearly bricked my MacBook with Sonoma, which is on me for running a beta. But, why the heck does it take an hour and a half to install MacOS? I did a Windows install the other day that took 20 minutes. I’m running an M1 Pro.

    Apples servers for delivering macOS versions are really slow for no good reason. On top of that the way they install it is really slow because of how shit the algorithm for setting up SIP is. MacOS regularly takes 2+ hours to install on my desktop, where fedora, Ubuntu, even arch take less than 20. Even windows is significantly faster and it is known for having a shitty installer. Apple just needs to do better.
