In contrast, Linux is not a commercial entity and by design, it gives users the control/choice to decide how heavy or light it should be. If you keep using the old hardware, after some time it becomes unbearably slow. Hence we see Windows/macOS continuously increasing the minimum hardware requirement for every new release. The solution they opt for is increasing the hardware requirement of every new release of their software. But, they cannot produce inferior hardware, as it will harm their brand. To increase their revenue, the commercial computer industry has to shorten the replacement cycle of the devices. Partially it is due to genuine user-centric feature enhancements. ![]() With every new release of commercial software, the minimum hardware requirement increases significantly. It's just that Windows is designed to utilize way more hardware resources. The bootup time in Windows is noticeably slower than in Linux. And when I use windows 11 on this laptop, I can hardly open a few excel models without a lag. ![]() These include video editing, photo editing, coding, virtualization etc. Thanks to Linux, I can do all my highly resource-hungry tasks on my 10-year-old computer, like it's a brand-new. It is a 2012 HP Probook 4440s with an HDD hard disk that is almost about to die (HDDs can be 5-10x slower than nvme hard drives that are used today), with a Gen2 Intel CPU (Current version is Gen11), with 6 GB RAM (an avg computer has 8GB today). My personal computer is very old, turning 10 years next year. ![]()
