From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What a big pile of shit software, I swear I'm just gonna quit because of this ass smelling garbage.
Today I discovered that C:/Users/MyUser was silently an alias of C:/Users/OneDriveBullshit/MyUser only in the explorer. So I just figured out why some documents were often disappearing for months, I'm just working on a multiverse were depending on the application the same path don't lead to the same folder.
Earlier this week I unzipped a file and couldn't remove resulting files without administrator privileges.
I've never lost so much time for any fucking software, let alone a paid one. And don't even get me starting on the fucking ads they put everywhere even if you unchecked the 154 options in 42 different menus.
Also, I don't get how people just accept that any input they perform will require an average of 1s for feedback.
But at least now I understand why macs are so popular...
This is the thing I hate most about windows. Did it register the thing I clicked? Is something happening? If I click again will it do the task twice? Complete opposite of how my Mac works.
I also experienced less "hiccups" since switching to Linux with KDE but I'd like to know on what combination of hardware and Windows you experienced anywhere close to an average of 1s response time to "any input".
It's a ~5 years old thinkpad. It may be due to it not being well managed but it really disn't up to the task. Being in a Teams call while using an external displays makes the framerate drop to ~10fps for example 🤷
That's mostly down to Teams though (being the bloated web app that it is), and not the underlying operating system.
I think, it's both.
right clicking on anything takes closer to a second on our school machines... on 10th gen i7...
