Has this ever been true? I have tried Linux on a bunch of slow computers and it is always less responsive than Windows. Gaming is exceptionally awful because native Linux games never work right and Wine rapes your CPU
My 10 year old laptop seriously struggles with win 10. Linux gave it a new lease of life.
WinForms is the best GUI toolkit ever invented though, and (real) Visual Studio is the only convenient way to develop WinForms apps.
I trust LVM's RAID implementation more than I trust hardware vendors. Most of my media sits on RAID6. If a drive dies, I replace it. No big deal. One of my new 8TBs is dying right now. Only noticed it by making LRZIP packs of N64 ROMs. Across the 4GB final compressed package (down from 19!), there was a flipped bit somewhere and it wouldn't decompress. This is totally un-dev-related. This is about dependable storage.
Yeah, buddy, me too. Gentoo lets me do things by just grabbing whatever, building a copy for myself, and running that software. You only run software you have binaries for. Sometimes I like to screw around. But the dev stuff I do is quite rare. Most of what I do is what anyone does. Most software has a web UI today, and Linux runs the same Firefox/Chrome options you have anywhere.
Try disable Microsoft Defender.
DWM has looked the same since I started using it. I was a GNOME 3 guy back in the day. 3.40 broke UI I liked. Nothing has changed UI on me since... except fags are trying to force Slick Greeter in my LightDM experience, which I use exclusively for autologin. Gotta rig Gentoo to make that easy. Linux has changed less than Windows by a large margin.
Shit like Lutris exists to make this painless. in all these Prime Gaming freebies, I'm just so astounded at the games I'm getting free I give them a quick few-minute whirl. Epic launcher. GoG games. Amazon games. Amazon Luna. Games that don't work are weird and rare. More streamlined than Windows, you can run a search within Lutris for automated install scripts for all kinds of games.
Yes, lightweight Linux distros easily breathe new life into older computers. I've never gamed on them, though.
Because gaming performance doesn't have much to do with the OS, i mean, it does, just, if you are using a 10 year old shitbox to game on, it's gonna be shit wether on windows 10 or linux. Now, if you don't game and try and use it for more general computing tasks, then sure, linux will perform much better, because it's not bloated and ridden with ads.
Uh, yeah, are you aware of DXVK? It was made by a Linux developer before he went to work for Valve. It literally reduces CPU overhead to do just that on older games. It works on Windows and Mac.
Yes. I use it on an older laptop that Windows was just painfully slow on. But I'm talking about general usage, not gaming
Yeah it does. Vulkan can also allow you to use FSR or AFMF on OpenGL or older DirectX titles that don't support it to increase frame rates,
Excuse you sweaty, I'm a professional engineer who needs AutoCAD, and I'm also a music producer so I need Pro Tools, and I run my own design agency so I have to have all of Adobe CC, and I'm a lawyer so the courts require me to run antiquated versions of MS Word to submit my briefs to their system. GOD!!
Traceback (most recent call last):

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cProfile'
Well to update. Even in Heroic, GTA Online will kick you out 10 mins max because retard devs forgot to check the compatibility box on BattleEye.
Did you verify that cprofile is installed? If you use
pip then try pip list | grep -i cprofile and see if it's there and if not install it using pip. If you don't use pip normally to install python modules then you'll need to figure out how to check using that.
I presume you've reinstalled all the python packages? "I forget what I did" is doing a lot of lifting here. It's as easy as pressing 'L' on the Python category in Aptitude. Shouldn't make anything worse, may make things better.
Debian splits Python into a bunch of separate packages, notably python3-minimal which is a stripped down version of the interpreter. You could just check what Python stuff you have installed system-wide with the "python3-*" mask.
