There is a windows phenomenon that I don't know if happens with everybody, but it happens with most of my acquaintances:
Every time someone buys a windows computer I get impressed about how fast the computer is. Six months later, same computer, I get impressed about how slow it gets. This experience has been like this for decades. Never seen anything like that on linux or mac.
- spery 6y agoIf your machine is low on RAM and you keep installing services to it, it will slow down. OS has nothing to do with it.
- craftyguy 6y agoAll of that 'telemetry' collection isn't free. OS choice definitely matters, some OS vendors will insist on default sevices and 'require' the ability to arbitarily enable more for you as they see fit over time. You don't own your PC running windows, microsoft does.
- marcodiego 6y agoI'm not sure I understand what you mean. Are you saying that windows users love installing services?
- zeroc8 6y agoYes, especially Virus services.
- spery 6y agoI'm not saying windows users love installing services. I meant, maybe your acquaintances aren't that tech savvy and don't understand the implications. My parents we're the same before I've taught them not to install stuff before consulting with either me or my brother.
