You'll have to elaborate on that. For me on Win10, the busiest process on idle is Rainmeter which gives me real time stat monitoring, and yet the system never exceeds 5% of total CPU usage despite all the other crap I run in the background.
The dock is centered, yes, but the inspiration for the Start button and menu is the Apple menu, which has always been at the top right of the main screen, in the menu bar. You can even hide the dock completely if you want to. The dock also re-sizes dynamically and doesn't go edge to edge even if you only have a single item in it. You can also stick the dock to one side of the screen and have it vertical if you want.
--------> the point
VS Code's biggest contribution isn't really the editor itself (although it is solid and feature-rich for a free editor and has a good plugin ecosystem). The biggest contribution is the concept of the LSP allowing for language people to write a single program that can provide editor enhancements which can then be used by any editor which implements the LSP. In the past, editors would have to implement stuff like syntax highlighting, automcomplete, linting etc. all individually for each language which is why a handful of popular editors rose to the top. Nowadays you can pretty much use whatever you want and still get rich language functionality as long as the editor you're using supports LSP.
The toggle is disabled if your copy of Windows has not been activated, although it's possible to enable the locked options (including the dark theme) by going in the registry.
There are now like four different accumulated strata of system settings, so in the worst cases you can use the 9X settings, the XP settings, the Windows 7 settings, or the Windows 10/11 settings and they all have varying amounts of overlap.
They did in WIndows 8/8.1.
The good thing about those older control panel applets compared to the newer Windows 7 based applets is how generally they do blend in with the rest of how the operating system looks (as in they don't really look out of place despite one being rendered in the control panel window and the other being a pop-out window and the 9x/XP applets basically look for the most part identical in how things should be laid out so there is not too much worry about them).
I've asked someone about its performance and he said "not a big difference in CPU performance between 7 and 10 but the way 10 renders stuff seems to hit big on a CPU if it is weak (works the opposite way if the CPU is strong)".
It's possible, it's also possible that all the Spectre/Meltdown mitigations being weird where for performance you'll want to disable them on older CPU's, but keep them enabled on newer ones.
Yep, fun fact: you can run software that's hosted on remote locations, like Samba shares. For example, Mark Russinovich's SysInternals suite can be ran from live.sysinternals.com without having to download the executables.
What isn't going to surprise anyone, however, is that mirojeets didn't think that a package manager should probably maybe add installed packages to PATH. And they have an open issue about it for almost 5 years now.
I don't see many 'jeets in that issue, but it's not like they're a must for Microsoft to make a good thing, but fuck it up in some small way. That's been their MO ever since Billy G and Cokehead Steve days.
Windows 11 is almost a supermajority of Steam users:
I remember how their mental gymnastic and arcane magic to keep running Windows 7 overshadowed the autism of the most religious Linux fanatics. Shit like putting unknown, unverified modded DLL's from Russian forums into system32 to enable DX12 because gosh darn it they will play the newest slop on DX12 and they will prove that Windows 10 is a sham, still declaring that Windows 7 is the best OS ever made, and that no, they won't install Windows 10, nor will they switch to Linux to not have to deal with all this shit.
