Instead of using butter for your grilled cheese, you should switch to linux. You can set up a virtual machine to try out various distros to see which ones work best for your needs
it’s funny, last time i recommended that (recently) it was on the ten-year old videos and internet laptop post
but like, enjoy using utorrent and dusty chrome on windows 7 i guess? i’d rather be people be safe than never have to adjust
what is wrong with you that you think windows 7 requires you to use utorrent or chrome. linux brain rot in action.
tell me windows 10 will run well on a 10 year old laptop that has like, 8g of ram for the average multi-tasking end user (read: browser tabs) ca. 2024
how are you not aware that windows 10 (an OS from 2015 intended to run on hardware going back to around 2008) will run fine on the mid-range if not higher spec 2014 laptop you are describing???
all the performance problems you would have under Windows will be there under Linux if not worse - the primary change in web pages is more and higher end audio/video usage and more useless webpage javascript nonsense, none of which linux can help with. if anything the Linux user is more likely to have faulty consumer hardware support which reduces the performance of the audio/video content.
Do The Meltdown and Spectre Patches Affect PC Gaming Performance? 10 CPUs Tested
For now, one thing is for sure: today’s patches, particularly those for Spectre Variant 2, affect performance in some workloads. Older CPUs are said to be hit the worst. Microsoft predicts that “some” users with Windows 10 on pre-Broadwell architectures will suffer noticeable slow-downs, while “most” users on Windows 7 and 8.1 on comparable systems will notice a decrease in performance.
Holy shit girl, you are computer illiterate as fuck! These are patches from 6 fucking years ago that were temporary bandaids until AMD and Intel could develop properly tested system microcode patches. The temporary problems with OSes - all oses that ran on x86/x86-64 mind you - resolved within weeks, beyond the total performance impact on all oses that changes to speculative execution to prevent a rare attack would cause.
Those same patches also affect Linux performance: they are CPU microcode patches that affect any operating system you run. Linux gives you exactly 0 benefit in this scenario. Like always.
Can you please try to come up with something real? I mean it’ll be hard, linuxailures have been trying for the whole quarter century I’ve been trying distros and haven’t managed it yet. But you should be able to do better than not comprehending a processor level security issue from 2018.
hey can you nerds stop arguing this post is about grilled cheese
…is a pizza technically grilled cheese
Only if you add a face down pizza on top
wait hang on that’s a calzone
