Microsoft is in conflict with itself if web apps, modern native apps, or classic native apps are the future. That’s why even different Microsoft applications feel as or even more disconnected from each other than using KDE applications under Gnome.
Ah, so all the tests must be wrong then. All the articles must be mistaken.
All? ALL? So finding only one counter example to Win10 running faster tears down your whole argument? You must be very sure of yourself. Let me do 30 seconds of googling… Oh:
“When we compare Windows 10 to Windows 11, purely on throughput benchmarks, we don’t find much difference. There are a few spots where Windows 11 has a slight advantage in multi-threaded workloads” – https://www.anandtech.com/show/17047/the-intel-12th-gen-core-i912900k-review-hybrid-performance-brings-hybrid-complexity/16
“The Windows 11-versus-10 differences may be small, indeed mostly within what we would consider margin of error. Indeed, anything under 2% we typically regard as possible run-to-run variance. But let’s take a closer look at the results anyway. The Windows 11 results mostly edge out the Windows 10 numbers, even if not by much.” – https://www.pcmag.com/news/windows-11-vs-windows-10-tested-will-the-os-upgrade-speed-up-your-current
Just that? Then where are the old settings? The old configuration screen? It’s gone now in win11.
No idea what you’re talking about. Also: WSL2 is more important.
I only had ads for win11 and office365 on win10. That’s it.
Then you forgot about the all ads for which there are guides on how to disable them. For example https://windowsreport.com/remove-ads-windows-10-creators-update/
Win10 runs faster and more stable then win11.
Bogus. They are the same in that regard. Stability is mostly dependent on used hardware and drivers these days.
Don’t get me started on all the limitations win11 introduced
Please do get started and how they weigh more than than WSL2.
next to all the ads
Win10 also has ads, MS added more ads through updates. My work desktop PC runs Win10, my work notebook runs Win11. I have the comparison on a daily basis.
and loss of control of settings.
A few minor things around taskbar placement. Even though my personal preference is a vertical taskbar on the left screen edge, it’s less important than WSL2.
You’re joking right?!? 😂
No, why would I? I nowhere said that Win11 is the best OS, btw, but from the perspective of a Linux user, Win11’s WSL2 is a massive improvement over WSL 1.0 in Win10.
If you’re looking for a Win10 fanboy, maybe look in a different community, not a Linux one.
The “year of the Linux desktop” was ages ago when Intel started developing drivers upstream in Linux, Mesa, and Xorg. This lead do AMD and others doing the same. None of the current developments, including Steam Deck, would have happened without that.
Win11 is definitely a lot better than Win10. The improvements around WSL alone are worth the upgrade.
Sure, the new start menu sucks but there are easy workarounds for that.
MacOS: Am I a joke to you?
MacOS (X) used to be the absolute best operating system around but ever since Apple became a phone company and Macs are merely an afterthought, macOS is indeed mostly a joke, not because the technological foundation is bad (actually that is quite good) but because of Apple’s dumb commercial decisions: The absolutely dumbest thing is Metal (their non-standard take on DirectX), deprecating OpenGL, and not adopting Vulkan.
WSL is the best thing that’s ever happened to windows
WSL is great but the NT kernel was/is more important, then userspace GPU drivers (which Linux still lacks), then WSL.
People now in their 20s don’t realize how utterly bad Win9x and then the first consumer grade NT-based WinXP were (and those older may have forgotten). Win7, 10, and 11 are paradise by comparison. These days I can cope with Windows. I don’t love it but it’s not a daily cause of anger like the Windows dark ages. Heck, winget even makes software installation bearable.
It is ridiculous that many companies are still providing security patches every 3 months for maximum 2-3 years.
The expected change is about how long the actual updating process takes, not for how long updates will be provided. The article is not that long. You could have read it.
Check out that last link I posted there
I wasn’t disagreeing with you, I was making an (hopefully) entertaining comment.
But that stinks of communism, doesn’t it… 😄
Sprinkle a bit of communism on that capitalism.
The main failing here in the US though is that rail maintenance falls to rail companies that have little financial incentives to spend the money on safety. That may be changing, however if the federal government just hands over money with inadequate oversight it will just enrich the companies.
Sounds almost as if critical infrastructure should be owned by the public.
Unfortunately, our guidelines reserve two-letter TLDs for use by countries only.
Soon:
Fortunately, guidelines are not laws and we’ve got loads of money from Elon Musk who’ll now control that TLD.
Them switching to PowerVR GPU is also interesting. Not sure if itis related to Qualcomm-ARM lawsuit.
They used Mali graphics previously.
They cannot veto it. The patents for x86-64 and SSE2 lapse next year. The only say they have is on extension newer than these two.
X64 doesn’t exist. Microsoft used the label for Windows for a while to distinguish from IA64 (Itanium) and 32bit x86 editions of Windows but these days Microsoft moved mostly away from those labels and only uses them when talking about ARM.
Bluesky is the promise of Mastodon with none of the failsafes of Mastodon.
Why do farmers keep buying that shit?
You replied to a comment referencing the open source definition and it’s clear you did never read it.
KWrite hasn’t been released by KDE on the Windows app store, Kate has. Using the app store means seamless updates in the background.
Maybe KWrite is available on winget which would make it a bit less inconvenient than manually downloading each update.
Edit: KWrite isn’t available on winget
