After booting up the Linux kernel my current PC (Broadwell-E i7, Geforce 1080, built in 2016!) will launch into Hyprland with all necessary services running, Zen with about 20-30 open tabs and VSCodium with last nights hacking project still open and ready to go in less than 30 milliseconds or so.

That's when I personally discovered modern Windows is more or less fundamentally broken, and probably already was when Windows 10 was released (11 is still basically 10, by the way, look at the build number).

Also, it's amazing to discover how ridiculously fast "old" hardware still is in 2025 just by installing a non-Windows OS.
