We can't change the OS's that we have. The ship has sailed on efficiency. Why are you singling out Microsoft when every desktop application is now a bloated Electron piece of shit? When a single browser tab can take 1-2GB of memory? Nah, let's ignore the wide swaths of developers across the globe who literally don't give a shit and just beat the same dead horse that we have for thirty fucking years. > Well that's one perspective, another might be maintaining sales of operating systems, hardware, and the economic ecosystem that it's a part of. Are you serious? Sandy Bridge launched 2011. It's dirt cheap. It's performant. Just get one of the billions of used Thinkpads on Ebay or anywhere else. Nobody is being forced to buy the current generation. This is significantly better than the previous hardware block which was actually insane because it locked off everything older than a 7th gen Intel Core for no apparent reason. And it's actually sensible, because it's actually feature-based instead of completely arbitrary.
