There are several unrealistic issues with these tests which don't reflect the real user's experience:

1. It's done in new installations. Windows tends to slow down over time unless you do some heavy maintenance. Linux doesn't.

2. Most windows installations are bloated at purchase time (with the equipment). You need experience and time to debloat it. If you buy a computer with Linux preinstalled it is not bloated.

3. Most windows applications installations bloat the system even more. Apps tend to install extra stuff and add application autostart entries. Linux applications tend to only install the app.

4. Windows background processes slow down the system unless you do some special configurations to avoid it. Storage trashes for hours with the indexing, rebalancing, etc.

The counterpart is that

1. Other than a few examples, Linux doesn't come preinstalled. And even then, for example, my ThinkPad came with Fedora preinstalled but it was a sloppy installation. The storage wasn't encrypted and secure boot was disabled. I still had to start from scratch.

2. Linux requires less maintenance but what it needs, the user needs to do manually or automate. However, some Desktop environments have started to automate things like indexing and start behaving like windows, slowing the system at boot when is exactly when I want my computer to perform the best. That's why I turn on my computer, right?

Wow. This "article" is hard to read. Stream of consciousness rambling.

Hahaha. Wosh!

You have zero ability to infer clear sarcasm.

I thought those were urinary tract diagrams.

Unfortunately in the two party system, fiscal and social come as a one package. I'm sure some gay people would support if there was a party socially liberal but fiscally conservative.

I don't agree with either conservatism but most importantly I don't agree with a binary view of the world.

Sir, this is not Reddit. Here people still factcheck headlines before replying to ragebait.

Stop spreading FUD.

What do you mean no access to encryption of any kind? That phrase makes zero sense.

Of course they want you to use backdoored encryption.

Just when the "bad guys" are breaking it, when it's our guys, breaking stupid international law is OK.

Sure, they should receive donations in their piggy bank, right?

I almost throw up when I heard it.

"Let's kill people by the thousands. It will make us money"

Primitive baboons.

You spelled "ever" wrong.

Not in a long time. "Ever" for that stain tongonaway, you'd need to clean all the blood you already have in your hands. Keep cheering up for your veteran war criminals whose only repercussions have been selfminflictednwhen they can't live anymore with the things they've done.

You haven't heard of guerilla war? It has worked elsewhere. In fact, it has worked against the US.

I really would prefer it doesn't come to that. However, the midterms will tell the world if that's the only option.
