Updates (depending on the amount of maps/modules you have installed) can be pretty large.

Sure - some(!) of the landscapes are beautiful. But others are.... dry, bare and rather unpleasant. Like on every other mediterrainean island. Just my subjective opinion of course!

PLUTON Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 For me there is no photo living on an island in Greece with its white houses, blue doors and shutters against a backdrop of the Mediterranean instead of the towns of northern France the choice is quickly made. As for the connection, I have fiber and I download at 3MB/s max even at night.
