I wouldn't say that windows is about speed and performance now. Not to mention bloat.
Most games running near same performance on Linux. And funny enough, some games run even better under proton + wine than windows versions
Tbf it does say perceived speed. Perception is shaped by marketing and bells and whistles regardless of reality, and all that jazz.
My perception is W11 is that it's hella slow. Rainbow Dash should just get like Bazzite or CachyOS.
Rainbow Dash would definitely be using CachyOS
Oddly the only people who would perceive windows as “fast” are the ones who haven’t used anything else.
I've used a Mac. It won't even let me set the screen resolution to an exact pixel value. It doesn't even say the number, it's insane how dumbed down it is
? Mine does… seems like there was a checkbox to show it maybe? My work stuff is all linux. My home stuff is a mix of mac and linux. Under the hood mac is *nix based and with homebrew it really ties the 2 os’s together. I don’t care for Mac politics, especially Timmy’s ass kissing to trump. However i do like the hardware and the os is very capable once you crack that candy shell.
You know how many times I tried to install some driver on windows, just for it to say fuck you?
install windows Euro version
it dosent include direct sound
direct sound is probably a directx lib, install that
nope, I look it up (for euro version of course)
I should go to the „add or remove features”
type into searchbar, find it instantly
can't find
apparently I've been using the legacy version thats accessible and correctly indexed in the search bar. What I need is the new thing with the same name that is only accessible in 3 sub menus
so basically if I want to install dhcp servers, hypervisor etc, I need the old menu, but if I want libs for those or slightly different versions I need the new menu
install
wat 10 mins at a loading bar that tells me nothing, just for it to fail with no error code
repeat until I go back to linux
Only eggheads like twilight use Linux.
This is a 2010-era meme. Things have changed since then.
Ah yes of course I remember using Windows 11 back in 2012. I definitely was not still using Windows 7 and Windows XP lol
