Nowadays Windows is filled with adware and is fairly slow, but it wasn’t always like this. Was there a particular time where a change occurred?
Windows 8 marked the point in my opinion. It’s when they tried to start locking down the operating system and focusing heavily on the cloud. The adware began in this era as well.
I agree on the ads and bundled services, but the “windows is slow” stuff is horseshit. A tight build of Linux boots more quickly no doubt, but a fresh Win10 or 11 install, even with bloat, is up in under 30 seconds, and runs swiftly out of the box. This isn’t “slow” by any definition.
Again, let’s hate the other shit, let’s hate on that together.
Yeah I might have phrased that wrong. On my computer windows uses about 40% of my laptop cpu with nothing else running, but I do agree that it isn’t really show
Vista I think
After 95.
When did they start bundling candy crush? Xp? Or 7? That was when the enshittification started.
Not due to that app itself, and it was a slow start and it took a while, but that was when stuff started being “pushed” instead of merely “present”, like, say pinball or solitaire.
