Microsoft is ruining Windows. It just keeps getting worse. Whether it be their insistence on AI and cloud garbage, or just a general sense of incompetence, I can’t help but feel like the operating system has seen better days.

Normally I wouldn’t care too much, big tech ruins another thing, whatever.

But the problem is Microsoft has such a dominant market share that you can’t really escape them.

I guess unless you use a Mac or something I don’t know.

    My problem is SolidWorks, SpaceClaim, etc. They do not run from my testing in Linux…Later I’ll try getting them going in a VM. I just worry about the performance hit.

        How can that be? It’s the same machine except you have introduced some overhead.

          it’s a half truth. a compatibility layer will always be slower than bare metal but main systems tend to get bogged down with excess software and general use. A VM will be optimized for the 1 thing you need to run, and maybe even use a snapshot so it’s always the same system at max performance.
