There are times when my computer just stops, entirely, for like 15 seconds at a time. Didn’t ask it to do much…just open Teams.
And I know it’s 15 seconds because I have seconds enabled in my clock and it actually stops ticking.
But I’m dailying an Ubuntu laptop at work now, and legit everything is faster. I mean like every day stuff like launching apps and switching windows and browsing webpages. Just an overall far more productive system.
All those delays add up. Especially when mated with an ADHD-riddled admin like me who gets distracted and either moves into another task because Word is taking too long to open (excess context switching makes me anxious…but so does waiting for shit like word to open)…or start investigating it.
Which is a whole other pain point in itself because shit like launching Event Viewer takes a solid 2 minutes. RSOP takes like 10 minutes to compile.
It used to take ADUC 5 minutes to load before I found out that was DNS. Yeah, that was actually DNS.
Windows is only 6x slower in your environment?
Consider yourself lucky.
