    Have they fixed that 100% disk usage bug in Windows yet? Seems to disproportionately affect laptops with magnetic disk’s and just chokes the whole system making it unusable

            Not as much as some others. I work with Linux at my job and use it at home, take that like you will

              Done! You should see about 4 reports in !linux . Take a peek and see what that looks like from whatever client(s) you normally use. Note that you’re not always obligated to take action on things that are reported. You know where the reports come from and have a good idea of how reliable they are.

        not technically a bug, its updates and other stuff thats still notoriously heavy on windows. you can usually see what it is on the task manager.

      its not a bug, its a feature. its updates, telemetry and other stuff they want you to use like edge. you can see it for yourself on the task manager.

      you can use some feature disabler apps to cut out a lot of this crap but theres only so much you can do on windows. updates are crazy heavy for what they are.

      it is however a substantial improvement, they undo the mods on update and you will have to play little a cat and mouse game to keep it good.

      windows can be improved but linux is the permanent solution for weaker hardware if you can use it.
