    Can confirm with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS vs my previous W11 install, it’s astonishing that a company with Microsoft’s resources can’t make an OS that runs as smoothly and efficiently as the open-source alternatives. Is it all just because of telemetry and whatever else Windows is phoning home with?

      As a company, Microsoft doesn’t reward anyone for improving the performance of the OS. That should be enough of an explanation 😆.

      I think it’s just that they don’t care about performance. It’s been the case for a while that typically games run faster on Linux through WINE/Proton despite using a translation layer.

      And there’s a bunch of background services taking up memory and CPU on Windows that are hard to turn off.
