I don't remember the last time I saw a big ol' loading bar, honestly. Maybe a small one in steam?
SSDs have made it a rarity for me.
Downloads. SSD doesn't help much there.
But then you get a download rate and watching the bar is pointless
I've had ones that don't show a rate, and it's maddening. Usually something like downloading an MMO through a launcher.
Brew and yum and apt do this in ascii.
EDIT I don’t know about Pacman. I don’t use arch.
You obviously don’t work in IT.
OS install. Even then, it's not much of a chance.
And windows just displays a %age. Linux of course depends on the distro
