Assuming that the default is good then yes. But some default DEs are ugly as sin, or just hard to use.

You don’t have to run linux to watch a video about linux.
No it doesn’t. Kia just has a sales event that overlaps with gay month.
Don’t forget Truckuary.
Every time I see him I can’t believe Tek Syndicate is still around.
can run in a VM, and can run well in a VM are two very different things.
Linux already has bad audio latency without tweaking, running a VM with Windows latency on top of that? Yeah no thanks.
Nvidia or Intel GPU?
sorry to tag the top mod
Are you really though?
Civ 5 sunk it’s teeth into me deep. I could never stand 6. I only managed about 41 hours into 6, but 5 I have well over a thousand in (even if steam only reports 600 of it)
Synergy does the K and the M, but not the V.
Wouldn’t a “software KVM” just be remote desktop?
Yeah but this is Intel, they’re not capable of doing something the most efficient way possible. E cores use less power than P cores, but that doesn’t mean they’re very good at getting the job done using the least amount of power. Currently (using Intel’s management) 12th and 13th gen start a task on the P cores, and if it runs for longer than X time it gets shifted over to the E cores where it can churn away. Meteor lake has 3 stages of things since there’s P cores, E cores, and LP E cores. If I remember right Meteor lake starts a task on the LP E cores, then shifts it to P cores, then shifts it to the E cores if it’s taking too long. But Intel likes to blast the power away with turbo boost and runs the E cores way past their actual efficient zone unless you wrangle them back down. Sometimes it’s faster to blast the task away on the P cores then return to idle, other times letting it churn away on the E cores forever is the best way.
Also all those extra cores being active still uses power. So if you went from a 4 core CPU to a 4 + 4 cpu now you have all the same power draw as the old one, plus the extra 4 efficient cores sipping at even more power. I think that’s where 12th gen really suffers the most.
Same boat. Good news is 11th gen generally gets better battery life than 12th+ because all those extra cores still eat power.
Bad news is I already get as bad as 30 minutes of battery life so IDK how 12th gen can be even worse.
12th gen and up intel CPUs. All but a few have P and E cores.
Also like one weird i5 from about 10th gen.
Say what you will, but once you adapt I’d take the Mac OS ui/ux over just about any other.
Buck the trend, put APFS on those bad boys.
Mac OS from the very start has been about opening (and then stacking windows) on top of other windows. The entire OS has been built around it since 1.0. Once you accept that’s how it works it’s UI/UX makes a lot more sense.
The 3rd party apps on Mac are probably about as popular gnome or KDE.
I went from windows to Linux (gnome and cinnamon) to Mac OS, and I find Mac OS’ UI to just be the best overall. And that’s continuing to use all of them previous system still, just adding another OS on top. In the end I’ve settled on Mac OS for my home use.sure o can’t tweak the UI to my hearts content, but from the start I get a solid user friendly and consistent experience.
Modern windows actually handles hardware upgrades pretty well. Just make sure you manually install the chipset drivers so it can read your boot drive and windows update will figure out the rest after a reboot or two.
