I think you're under the false assumption that on Windows the page file is always being thrashed. That isn't how the VMM functions. SSD "short" life span even from a bunch of 4KiB reads/writes is vastly overstated.

32GB RAM + page file on disk also no crashes. Not all applications will function without a page file, as I said. There's zero reason to use a RAMDisk for a page file. Stop listening to idiot gamers.

A RAMDisk-backed page file removes useful RAM from the system. It's a net-negative. You're using RAM that would otherwise go towards useful things, like programs or file cache. Again, if page file usage is a problem , you need mo

I don't understand these people. This isn't the first time Microsoft has retired a "perfectly good" (what) OS, or any other vendor for that matter. I've got cheese at my house. Bring the whine.

The author mistakes introversion to do-little/nothing. Many introverts love socializing and being around friends, it’s just energy-depleting and takes (more) time to recharge. That said, doing little or nothing is quite relaxing, espec

Yes, Microsoft is blocking CPUs which lack the ability for Virtualization Based Security. Given OS security is important to Microsoft (surprise, I know), enforcing VBS is a priority.

Microsoft abandoned OPAL/SED support due to vendor's just f-ing it up making the encryption worthless. YMMV.

Journaling isn't the issue, small files go into the $MFT which is the fast-path. The issue is the file system filter overhead.

Renaming works just fine on long paths. The rest of your points don't apply to a user who buys a desktop/laptop and starts using it.

Is BattlEye equally as effective on Linux as it is on Windows, i.e. is it a 1:1 drop-in? If not, I could see why they wouldn't want to enable it.

You don't need to manually enable long paths, and Explorer handles them just fine as will any other Win32 application respecting max_path. You list many things that are advantages, but not for the regular end user, the primary target o

"NTFS" is fine, the Windows File System Filters are the culprit of I/O performance problems [with many small files/requests] on Windows.

They're not "arbitrary requirements". They're requirements to enable VBS, one of the largest leaps in kernel security history.

For macOS, it doesn't matter which protocol version of SMB, it's just a poor implementation of SMB [client].

Apple just doesn't seem to care about SMB on macOS even though it is now the primary file sharing protocol.

That's a weird take but you're entitled to it, of course; normally we see products die with zero improvements for many years. I'm well aware of the rel history of AD, but thanks for the re-education.
