It’s even faster if you avoid a product with Microsoft bloat. What they’re been doing to Windows 11 with widgets, celebrity news, and failing to respect user’s default preferences is atrocious.
I feel like it underscores what a cheap/bad product windows feels like. Even though, technically it is fine (and I know you can turn it off, but defaults matter!!)
If clickbait was the only problem. The site is full of scam ads. It really shows how much MS cares about the users.
Other aspects of Windows are so good, such as WSL, but they completely ruin it with all of this.
Im not at all opposed to Linux either but I can run a real shell on OSX and all my scripts.sh run just the same locally as they do on my cloud Linux deployments - and thats enough for me personally.
But all that doesn't help if the OS gets trashed by bad project leads and Microsoft seems to employ a lot of those. Their technical mistakes are dwarfed by their strategic ones. And companies being locked into their environment providing a record income probably don't help with Microsoft really trying to be competitive instead of milking users as much as possible.
