  I think its more that you stated the obvious. Like saying 100% of Linux Appimages run on Linux. The reason to move from Windows, or one of them, is MS using telemetry and screen capture and other bloat that ruins the gamiglng experience due to processing power needed, you move that to a Linux machine and there’s no background garbage running.

  For example my machine had dual boot, at idle windows was using 6% of processing power to do nothing. On Linux it was 0 to .5% to idle.

  With windows updates I have to delete Ai.exe and Ai.DLL from the office folders or randomly ai starts hogging resources even if I have no office apps in use. Just a terrible user experience.

    They stated the obvious, which didn’t add to the conversation, and also was wrong. There are a number of older games that just do not work on modern Windows. Frequently they work through WINE/Proton just fine though.

    You think it’s doing nothing, but you’re wrong. Windows just does more stuff than Linux. For all you know it’s rebuilding indexes to make the whole PC run better.

      Its running uneccessary stuff for my user, like telemetry, and other preinstalled MS nonsense ai.exe, etc.

      And it definetly wasn’t building indexes. LOL. I have excel installed, if I type excel in the search with app filter it can’t find it.

      Also I shared a drive between windows and Linux before. Linux GNOME indexing finds stuff instantly, Windows indexed search still takes forever looking for data.

        Lol ok so you’re just straight up lying. Good to know it’s not worth interacting.

      Which is a good thing in my opinion. Constructive debates work better without wordless reactions.
