Thanks for cursorily reading the op this time, but even the fastest latency Intel CPUs (which are not the newest ones after the little core regression) are perceptually slower than 4 decade old computers

If you want efficiency the WinNT kernel is not your playground. It's simply grown too complex for that. You will need a stripped down version of some sort.

Also, NT really likes to be plugged into a power socket, which is why it never worked all that well on mobile phones, and it still has "sleep" issues on laptops.

If you want something more efficient, you will need a Unix derived system, out of which I personally think that Apple's effort is by far the best take, especially the iOS branch, but MacOS is also VERY good.

That being said, WinNT is an extremely capable system. It's incredible how many things around you are actually built on Windows NT based systems.


Mark Russinovich is an absolute gem when it comes to all of this so take a listen here:

Our demands: "Security, speed, & privacy."

Their response: "Pick 2."

Security and Privacy, unfortunately. but having to omit any of those is bad.

Sounds like a real heap of shit. I will continue to not use it.

My home PC is mainly for gaming, so I am praying to our lord and savior Gaben for SteamOS.

Use this script and you will have a debloated Windows 11 install. To top it up, you may use Optimizer and Chris Titus Winutil scripts.

I've been using Windows 11 without a single problem and it feels like MS most stable OS so far. Not a single issue with the system with a clean 23H2 install.

I will not upgrade to 24H2 until 12 months late.

Switched to Linux when Vista launched. Hard times for a gamer back then but hung in there.
Haven't had a single game not work on Linux for a long time. Even stuff on epic and EA launcher work flawless.
