I also agree, but … it’s an attitude that gets you in trouble fast and it only works once. Throwing hardware at a problem never works for very long, and hardly ever gets you the order of magnitude increases that reevaluated algorithms and data structures will get you. No amount of hardware gets you past an O(n^2) for long.
Comment on Preloading File Explorer in Windows 11 Doubles RAM Usage, Offers Minimal Speed Boost
Alphane_Moon@lemmy.world 1 day ago
This is one area where I will agree with MS. 32 MB extra RAM consumption is worth it for even a moderate speed boost.
That being said, the vast majority of modern applications run like shit. You have electron apps which are comically terrible in their performance metrics, but even beyond that you often have apps takeing up 100s of MBs and eat of stupid amount of RAM considering what they do.

It might be one of those placebo feelings, but I think my PC is running slightly worse and I’m working on a video right now I need to edit with Premiere so I’m thinking of formatting my PC, I haven’t done so in many years.

I mean, Premiere is known to be a buggy mess. I have no idea why companies still force people to use it when Resolve exists. Good luck to you sir.

If you are not forced to use premiere then use Davinci resolve and if you think it’s good and still worried about performance you might want to try Linux. Though you should do it only if not satisfied with your current system

Resolve has some quirks on Linux. In particular it doesn’t support certain codecs.

Making desktop applications has become a nightmare in anything but C or C# and that isn’t exactly a language people really want to be programming in these days. That is a big part of the problem there aren’t good GUI bindings for a lot of languages and most programmers nowadays have been building websites and working with GUI APIs is a huge step back.
Everyone is preferring server/web solutions now as its easier to charge customers for it and keep it up to date and the knock on consequence is desktop app support isn’t great or considered important.
