-hh wrote this copyrighted missive and expects royalties:There's a lot of conflicting priorities for code development & maintenance, as most mainstream software is commercially sold, so its costs to write, maintain and support are business expenses. An older example of this was how Adobe got caught not supporting some MacOS depreciations because they wanted to have just a single code base for both Mac & Windows OSs because that's cheaper. Ditto for choosing to not support specific hardware acceleration opportunities: it costs more.

I use Edge as a third browser under Linux, actually, it's not like I
care about M$ software, having some philosophical need to purge it,
it's specifically what is currently Win11, the bloat. But Edge under
Linux is what I view my Hotmail/Outlook email with, and serves as a
third browser with regard to logging in to a site on behalf of someone
who visits me.
The funny thing about 'bloat' is that it isn't necessarily a bad thing.
practise... Cue Windows.
My gawd, GIMP on Linux is a second or two for the launch. On Windows itExcept for when it isn't. Launch time really doesn't mean all that much anymore IMO, as its not an all that frequently repeated of an activity (especially with adequate RAM), plus also because some software vendors have manipulated their code to put the UI up quickly so that it looks ready while it technically isn't yet - YMMV as to how much this design decision is manipulating user perceptions.
is that time just to know that your click worked.
