Can someone point me to the core problems of Windows OS (either in general or specific to SC)? win10 2019 LTSC on ssd has been pretty solid for me.
It depends from what perspective you see an OS, if its purely from a technical point of view the following points are valid as windows problems: - Not that great network stack performance - GUI feels sluggish no matter what (example, try quickly switching between desktops, press WIN+Tab while you have dozens of windows) - Bloatware when you install it (dozens of services that you don't need consuming huge amounts of resources) - Performance degrades over time (ever tried to keep windows without restart for couple of days? what about couple of months?) - No decent control of underlying OS to user via command line (WSL does not count, powershell is BS if you are coming from the unix world) - M$ trying to move users to use online accounts - M$ .NET and other frameworks which are not focused on performance (SC is free of them thank god!) - Not built with KISS in mind The above can be correlated with using SC under Windows vs Linux. Seeing is believing. When you start using Linux in general slowly you will start understanding what running an OS that performs and quickly responds to user actions means. Now to be fair from a purely user's perspective windows are superb, because they are built in such way to be user friendly and meet all business requirements, so you can do all your work with less hustle, the only thing they ask in return is to keep up with their degrading non-performance friendly "software" (Visual studio, office anyone?) and their NWO tactics (Your data is their data, you don't own the software, you actually leasing it etc). If you are just a user/trader, trust me when I say you will spend MUCH more time with testing Linux and working through all problems they may arise than to keep up with the pain of using windows, that's a FACT - this is also why I recommend Ubuntu LTS, less pain for you with it - In the end putting effort to learn Linux though will grant you the all the great benefits of using it and you will be able to break free from the M$/Apple ecosystems at least for your desktops :) |
