   Sadly DevDrive doesn't perform that much better. ReFS write performance is slower than NTFS due to journaling. https://github.com/NullVoxPopuli/disk-perf-git-and-pnpm

    BSD documentation is great because it the systems change so little you don't find twenty out of date references on how to configure your DHCP client. But as a desktop OS, yes they lack in a lot of areas, mainly hardware support/la

    Generally it would be part of SOP for updates requiring a service or system restart. That said, I can't find fault in the filesystem, haven't personally encountered an issue with it, other than it being slow.

    I would disagree with feature additions; Windows brings new features often every month as detailed in their patch Tuesday relnotes. Some aren't enabled right away, they do staged rollouts now, but they're much faster than Apple&#x

    There are gains and losses in UX, I agree. I avoid the ads stuff via Pro (though not completely the telemetry, that said it's for games and a separate Enterprise device for Windows-only PoSh). I think the big spot for 'Recent&#x27

    The only dark mode I like is in my console of choice. Unless I want to emulate a Solaris console, which has a lovely font.

    Windows used to require a reboot to change an IP address. Windows used to BSOD when the graphics stack crashed. Used to come without a built-in firewall exposing all sorts of vulnerabilities to the public Internet. Used to not isolate criti

    No, it isn't "simple". Protecting your IdP is critical and not easy. Yes, creating a SAML integration is easy, but that's only one piece of the puzzle.

    NAT has nothing to do with security and it was common that people had a single device on DSL or cable plugged directly into the modem; routers were not common place at home. NAT was for fancy-pants with multiple PCs.

    The serialized service startup is what caused the slowness. Disabling services would have improved boot times.
