At this point, with the same hardware but years older, I genuinely have better performance on Linux
At this point, with the same hardware but years older, I genuinely have better performance on Linux than I ever did on Windows
CHigher, more stable framerate, on a higher resolution monitor, at higher settings, and without CPU overheating issues
SOverheating Bluetooth? :thonk:
IWindows uses a lot of processing for their own spyware
VDXVK and WINE are also good 
VAs is MESA
CI'll consider that conspiracy if you have several receipts, but no, the problem was that Windows, Intel, and HP set the CPU to run at the highest possible frequency on all cores at all times in order to maximize system performance and responsiveness in case the system load spikes from, say, 12% to 60%
II don't really feel like "conspiracy" is the right word to use for "advertised features"? Recall and even weather tracking are using system resources I would never dedicate
VI'm surprised Windows doesn't target lower power targets more considering how often it's running on a 5 year old i3 in enterprise situations.
CRecall, maybe, but that did not exist when I had performance issues on Windows years ago. Weather tracking takes such a laughably tiny fraction of a percentage of processing power, which I also use on Linux, that it would not cause a 20C temperature increase
INot saying it's responsible for everything, Just saying they're perfectly fine with sacrificing user experience for a quick buck.
KThey're also doing a lot of work to contribute to Linux, both effort level and monetarily
KI think Windows just has different priorities
VMicrosoft wouldn't hire people to work on Linux, that's silly
A@Kyle Gospo when is CPU boost support dropping on kernel side?
II don't think they're doing it for alruistic reasons.
KNot sure, I need to look at the patch notes
KCan you send me the commit series that you were merging?
VWell no shit, Azure relies on it lol
Aim not merging it yet just looking at it
Acachy told me Mario is removing the endpoint i use for hhd
KGitHub alone has given us a couple Ferraris worth of bandwidth and compute time
Pthats dumb and costs money
KTrue
Pthat's like saying they would hire someone to work on minecraft!
KI mean, they do SELL minecraft
KAnd I mean of the enzo variety
Iand in return the community develops software that they monetize
OExactly, why would they need anybody to work on it? It still sells :clueless:
KDo they even still update it?
KI have no idea lol
Pthey also sell linux :smirk:
KAt that point that's being upset about open source in general, I can't think of a single company that doesn't eventually monetize open source projects
Vlmfao
KAh yes, the Ol' Microsoft Linux
VYes, both the Java and Bedrock (C++) versions.
Pyes
IIt's a pet peeve, yea
Pstop making pets out of peeves
VBazzite WSL when
OIMO monetizing open-source/free-as-in-freedom software in some way is good for software ecosystems
Pif you don't then how are you gonna bring money to those projects
Oeven having donations is better than not
Peverything needs money to be sustainable
KI mean, many very important projects have a hell of a time getting any money
Kits a real problem
JI don't think anyone's found a good solution to sustainability outside the big projects
Pi don't disagree
Kcompanies just use em and don't support it
