Most malware is badly written, thankfully. It still does work of course but it isn't as effective as it could be.

I love watching windows and reddit disintegrate from the sidelines.

I just switched to linux after windows 10, I have issues with it but oh my god did I dodge a bullet

I tested it recently on my sister's laptop, it launches word faster than notepad

Like how on earth did that happen

don't have word but trying it rn, loading into new blank documents or mostly empty ones:

notepad: ~3 seconds the first time, ~1 second immediately after

libreoffice writer: ~7 seconds the first time, ~2 seconds immediately after

onlyoffice docs: ~5 seconds the first time, ~2 seconds immediately after

collabora office docs: ~12 seconds the first time, ~2 seconds immediately after

vs code: ~2-3 seconds the first time, ~1.5 seconds immediately after

visual studio 2022: ~5 seconds to title screen, quit and opened a file in ~5 seconds, ~4 seconds immediately after

servo: ~3 seconds the first time, ~2 seconds immediately after

chrome canary: ~2-3 seconds the first time, ~1.25 seconds immediately after

tengscribe: ~1.25 seconds the first time, ~1 second immediately after

texstudio: ~5 seconds the first time, ~3 seconds immediately after

there is a clear winner here. i completely forgot that i had that program lol

If windows hangs on searching pasta recipes, you install Linux instead.

It sucks that new PCs supporting Windows have an ugly Copilot key that you can't disable or remap, it's essentially a wasted key. I think its response is hardcoded in the controller so it's very difficult to repurpose (Have not bought one of those awful PCs yet I will use the ones I have until its too slow or breaks).

Meh, I got a new work laptop in December. It's "running" Windows 11 and has the copilot key - TBH having one useless key is the least of my worries.

I am just waiting until for when they report about the image viewer in windows scanning all your photos for illegal content. That one is gonna be fun.
I don't think they are scanning your shit...yet
