Just a hunch, but it's not performance why peeps are migrating away from windows

    I migrated because I was frustrated with having to constantly fix problems caused by forced updates. I didn't expect the benefit of my computer being WAY faster.

    My biggest "wow" was when I could hit the super key and have the start menu open immediately instead of waiting 4 minutes for it to load in and another 20 minutes to take my search input and give me back results from Bing.

    Hotkeys related thing that got me is the fact that on almost any DE you can configure your own hotkeys the way you want them, you don't have to use the ones Microslop thought are good. Using three languages, layout switching was an absolute pain with what hotkeys Windows has to offer.

    If it took that long, then you might've accidentally installed your os on a harddrive

    I wish.

    It was the same Samsung 970 NVME that I'm using right now lol.

    Windows 8 on a hard drive was 1000x worse. I made the mistake of upgrading my laptop back in the day from 7 to 8, and it would just sit at 100% disk IO at idle.

    But just in case, on the SSD it actually would take anywhere from several seconds to a full 15 before the start menu decided to load.

    XFCE, WF-Shell, KDE, and the many dmenu clones are all instant.

    Nobody is going to say what the real problem is unless they want to get fired

    Lightly squeezes AI bubble a few times

    Can't wait to see how the fediverse grows when all these datacenters have to liquidate their stock for dirt cheap
