Computer hardware has been getting faster and faster for decades at this point, but my computer still slows down. Like WTF. The dumbass programmers take the extra power given to them and squander it instead of optimizing their code. Microsoft word could run pretty well on a windows 98 PC, but the new Word can slow down PCs that are 5-10 years old. Programmers are complete idiots sometimes...

Linux can be just as much of a slow-ass OS. The real issue is all of the crap everyone wants to do in the browser now.

With linux you have the option of debloating your system by using a minimalist distro with Windows you have no choice
