>"how laggy the whole UI is even when running it on latest-gen hardware" I call BS if we are talking "latest-gen" hardware. I have few laptops and desktops and it runs very snappy. This is not to diminish Linux in any way. I use it every day and very happy with it as well.

As a frequent user of arch linux and not so frequent user of windows I think this might come from the lazy loading of .net for all the apps. Excel might be the worst here, but that is an UX problem. When you open it, it will first have you make it editable, then you need to allow connections, and finally if you want to mess around with something like powerquery it will lazy load .net each time before the UI is showing. It really depends on the type of applications you use though. I have frequently wondered why .net is just not preloaded somewhere on system launch and kept in memory. At least that is how it feels to me not being familiar with the .net technicals.

Not sure, I run Windows on Alder lake systems and had official Surface hardware that wasn't able to run stock Windows 10/11 without stuttering. Standard programs like Powerpoint and Word would also have terrible lag, e.g. when using the Surface pen. Still boggles my mind why they design hardware that isn't able to run their software without issues.

  Can't answer. I always shied all those thin "pretty" laptop. For me pretty is functional so all my laptops are big gamer type. Everything runs instant on those, even my 10 years old ASUS ROG G73. Mind you all my PCs and laptops are stuffed with max RAM they can accept. I do have one exception - some tiny very slim laptop from ASUS. It is used strictly to play Netflix, youtube and music to entertain me when I am on rowing machine. It does that just fine but it does not run anything but browser and music player.

  I'd recommend refraining from opening sexy_girl.exe next time you receive it sent by a Nigerian prince. I see that as the only explanation for people having constant issues with Windows, because I literally never have issues.
