macOS apps are smoother than windows apps because microsoft forces JIT'd applications, which hurts both startup and UX, you can feel JIT doing work when there are animations / click on buttons, and installation is slow because it copies a shit ton of DLLs and a massive runtime
even more noticeable on 120hz+ monitors
linux is the worst, people are addicted to python, and god knows how slow it is
- raphaelj 5y agoMost Linux and Windows apps do any significant computation except when relying on (usually) native/C/C++ libraries that do it (GUI, science stuff, IO ...). So it does not really matter if it is coded in Python, C# or C++, as most of the CPU time is spent on native code anyway. Code quality is a way more important factor in app perceived slowness.
