Modern macOS might be optimized for Apple Silicon CPUs. But even when it was Intel only, there were probably times when Windows was lighter, albeit bad in other ways.
- p_ing 2y agoIt’s a microkernel OS, it’s going to be slower by its very nature. And on ARM it wastes memory due to its 16KiB pages.
- ryao 2y agoNeither of them use microkernels. They are monolithic kernels with loadable module support ("hybrid" kernels). The cores of both Windows NT and XNU were originally microkernels, but then they put all of the servers into the kernel address space to make them into the monolithic kernels that they are today.
- LargoLasskhyfv 2y ago> It’s a microkernel OS, it’s going to be slower by its very nature. Yawn. Ever heard of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L4_microkernel_family https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L4_microkernel_family ? Or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genode https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genode ? (Wenn man keine Ahnung hat...)
- p_ing 2y agoYou're comparing a modern microkernel to something originating from the 80s? Keep your rude attitude to yourself.
- LargoLasskhyfv 2y agoIt's from 1993. Also be more precise about what exactly you are meaning by writing "It’s a microkernel OS, it’s going to be slower by its very nature." Otherwise don't be offended when people are offended by regurgitated and meanwhile disproven non-sense. kthxbye
- iforgot22 2y agoWhy is this convo about kernels so angry? And macOS isn't even based on a microkernel.
