Interesting take on comparability vs performance. I gotta imaging capturing user data and sending to a cloud collector is also a big culprit.

Time to uninstall Windows 11 and go back to 3.11! Sure, it won't run anything made since the mid 90s at best, but what it does run will surely be lightning fast!!

A lightweight Linux distro can get you the same results with current software. Hell, even Ubuntu will. The deterrent has always been that you have to tinker with it to get it to work right, but that's a lot less true now then it was in the past. I recently installed Ubuntu 22.04 on my wife's old iMac and it's lightening fast and worked straight out of the box with no tinkering whatsoever. It's about 20 times faster than it was running iOS.
