@arstechnica windows is the worse OS: it wastes enormous amounts of electricity just to deal with updates. at work my windows 10 is installing new updates every week . last time it sucked my battery dry , I didn't do anything on it , just letting it install shyt,reboot, install new shyt and rereboot...
ok my IT department adds it's own layer of spies and bloatware, but windows has fundamental design flaws. The opposite for my Linux, updates are fast,low resource usage, rarely require rebooting
