Microsoft’s approach to their OS seems to be, “constantly add more stuff that relatively few people want or need, and require everyone to buy new hardware to support it.” The resulting upgrade cycle is needlessly wasteful of people’s money and harmful to the environment.
Meanwhile, the Linux ecosystem is more like, “make new stuff available, but optional, and constantly optimize things to be more efficient.”
I was still gaming and developing software on a ten-year-old computer (with a somewhat newer GPU) until very recently. I’ll let you guess which OS I was using.
