  • There are different clusters of users who don’t/can’t leave Windows.

    • Don’t want to learn another OS at all (They are content with the Windows experience)
    • Gamepass users. They enjoy the Netflix model of getting free games
    • Multiplayer (with anti-cheat) gamers
    • Don’t want to leave the Adobe suite/
    • Uses programs which don’t have Linux equivalent

    The Linux community has to understand that some of these groups cannot be moved to Linux no matter how much you improve the Linux experience.



  • As per Microsoft, they apparently saved 2 GBs of RAM by preventing productivity apps (bloat) from loading in their Big Picture mode. Now, it’s another entirely different thing about how they are handling CPU/VRAM for the games. Let’s see how that goes.

    There was a Youtuber who showed that Windows is bloated, not because of background apps, but because of not using CPU properly (incorrect governor settings). The Youtuber used a script to set it right and windows got a boost in battery life. This kind of makes sense because I’ve seen none of the “bloat-free” Windows ISOs provide a significant performance boost over the standard OS.
