    When I used to use windows, my machine would get progressively slower as I used it. But when I switched to Linux none of that is happening. I haven’t reinstalled in 2 years and it’s still flying fast af. I wonder to this day as to why the fuck did windows slow down my machine with time

      Changes by shitty apps wanting to start with windows and register for context menus.

      I’ve had windows machines run fine for 10 years, and some having trouble at 6 months. The difference being the problematic machines I’ve made tons of changes, installed tons of risky apps.

      I’ve also run registry cleaners as a test, and it’s made a world of difference.

      In short: crappy apps make windows run poorly.
