I would love to see/feel Windows is reaching the point where it’s a small program with tons of optional programs, but god damn, I’m so sick of these bloated fucking OSes.
Android now takes 20+ gigs, Windows takes massive amounts of hard drive. And I know someone will say there’s a way to configure it, but the amount of bloat that people just accept on programs is insane.
It’s silly when Call of duty Warzone requires 150 GB, it’s a bigger problem when windows continues to consume more and more memory with out a good reason other than pushing new products and services most customers don’t want/use.
I mean yeah. It doesn’t have to even be “Linux” but a smaller required core library, instead of every application getting forced onto a user computer. I’ve a theory that over 90 percent of a computer’s hardware is only required because of coding standards that could be improved. (Small more efficient code versus get it shippable and move on)
I’m a little impressed Linux hasn’t had the massive bloat that most of the programming industry has taken on. “Let’s pull in every library, take up more space and never optimize code”. Linux seems to have avoided that, and that’s a good sign. I don’t even think it’s a OSS thing, because many OSS software slowly bloat up when people keep adding features to them. Linux has avoided that so kudos to them.

Basically Linux .
