MacOS Install Time - Lemmy.one

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’m not sure either, Win 10/11 are pretty quick to get going and Ubuntu is not much longer than that. If I have to hard reset the mbp for work, it’s a nice block of slacker time :)
