Comment on ROG Xbox Ally runs better on Linux than the Windows it ships with — new test shows up to 32% higher FPS

  • Explorer tabs.
  • Significant improvements to power management.
  • Terminal/ssh
  • Quick restore and autopilot
  • Notepad tabs Windows hello, passkey support

  Not OS, and it’s older now, but powershell is pretty great and vscode is nice.

    Explorer tabs

    Pretty sure that happened over a decade ago.

    Terminal/ssh

    Same

    Quick restore

    Same

    autopilot

    What even is that? A precursor to Copilot? If so, DEFINITELY doesn’t qualify.

    Notepad tabs

    If you’re not using Notepad++, you’re wrong and should be ashamed of yourself

    Windows hello

    Absolutely abominable and mandatory. A winning combination 😮‍💨

    passkey support.

    Which all of the competitors except maybe Apple’s walled gardens already had?

    Face it: windows has seen at most a handful of positive changes since XP and at least a dozen as many negative ones just since 7.

      Explorer tabs are 2022h2 so not that recent.

      Terminal was 2020 so yeah that’s old.

      Quick machine restore was only July.

      Autopilot is enterprise provisioning any device from an out of box state. Only mobile devices have this.

      Windows hello isn’t mandatory. it’s passwordless security, just like mobile devices.

      I don’t believe Linux supports passkey in the os.

        I don’t believe Linux supports passkey in the os.

        Not sure if this is the same thing, but KDE (on a linux system) presents me with options to login with smartkey/fingerprint, so it might, I’m guessing? I dunno if thay’s what passkeys are referring to, but if yes, then I think it does.

      Apple has passkey support in all their OS’s too

    They might add features, but none of them are a joy to work with or use. They are usually slow and buggy and annoying.

      Powershell has some nasty little quirks, and the command naming is user-hostile, but god damn is it great to pass objects around instead of parsing and reparsing text.
