I’ve seen people talking about it and experienced it myself with a server, but why does Linux run so well on ARM (especially compared to Windows)?

    Honestly MSFT does a pretty good job at getting things to work and keeping them working.

    You can open a windows laptop and trust it will start. You can close it, and trust it will sleep. You can open it and … there it is, as it was!

    You even have sound and networking. And that widget some contractor built 20 years ago in vb.whatever? It still runs OOTB.

    Yes, they have some backwards shit because of this but for a lot of people, these ticks are the high watermark of computation.

    Not saying I agree it should be that way, or that any should be satisfied. Just be aware these are things that Microsoft excels at … and Linux is still getting there.

    But:

    VBA why are you still a thing? WHY? Why is MS Access still not treated as the virus that it really is?

    Why does InfoPath still exist?

    Many grievances.
