Its logging half your shit, and trying to advertise to you anywhere it can! Get used to it...

It's always been like this. Those 10 years ruined you as a Windows user.

Linux aint perfect either. Look at the memory usage of most modern "fully featured" distros. They're using damn near as much at idle as windows is. Same thing going back 10 years in time.

The key is with windows you get one windows, and maybe some tweaks. With linux you could go with a hyper minimal DE with not much in the way of shiny features and go a whole lot further.

Partially because Defender does a lot of unnecessary work. Partially because Explorer now has Chromium under the hood of many elements.

Also Copilot. Not even joking. Having so many copilot buttons in apps is not an issue. The issue is to actually try using it. Even a light conversion crashes both the desktop an Android clients too often. At this point I would rather have those resources consumed by actual AI running locally than on a crappy frontend. Pathetic.

I'm dual booting on my laptop cuz I need windows for something, but 8gb ram is too much on Linux and the same amount of ram is too little on windows, Like I have 170 processes and 6gb ram usage at idle with my apps running in background, very poor memory management.

It's nearly the same for me, except it's been nine years, and I've been using both Linux and Mac. It's not bad enough to look for a new job, but oh man, I hate it so much.
