Well, 2 weeks after that happened, I asked my teacher if I could install Linux onto the PC and they agreed. Went for a minimalist arch setup since that's what I'm familiar with already, and it worked fine. Updates were still somewhat slow but they'd only take around 1-2 minutes maximum, excluding the download times for packages, and it ran smoothly.
That being said, Windows 10 on that craptop was fine for browsing, and boot times weren't too bad, only taking 30s on average. It's just that updating the system and using VS (since we were forced to use it as IDE until I switched to Linux, at that point I just went with neovim) were two major pain points.
Great, now install Tiny11.
Which is a minimalist Windows 11, and see how much faster that runs as well.
Or did you think there was only one version of Windows OSes?
