Martymarty49@mastodon.socialAug 20, 2026, 4:06 PM@rafe My computer is only three years old and sometimes I yell the same. I have a dual boot on it and the difference between Windows 11 and Kubuntu is incomparable...

@marty49 I believe it. Windows 11 may run great on capable older hardware once you get around the hardware blocks and strip the bloat (I had it on my daily driver i7 Dell Latitude E6440 for a while) but Linux is always gonna run laps around it.

@marty49 I don’t know what it is, but Windows 11 feels more sluggish on some of the newer, “supported” hardware than it did on my old Latitude, even when debloated… feeling like I might be entering my old curmudgeon shouting “They don’t make ‘em like they used to!” era.
