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.

    I don’t remember how long it takes anymore, but I presume you did it as an Internet rescue/reinstall.

    That takes a while since they have to download the entire macOS image as well as create the bootable image.

    On the other hand Windows may install quickly but you’ll be going through endless reboots to upgrade to the latest patches.
