Oh did I misquote you, sir, you only meant I could boot it and suffer
with it, like Win10 20H2 on my first gen i5, I had previously?  Heh.

What's your definition of 'suffer'?  Looks, speed, ease of
administration and configuration, open vs closed source?

I'm not just saying it to say it - there were multiple, fatal problems
with 20H2 on the old machine.  I couldn't even keep it on when I went
to bed, because of the racing fan, trying to keep up with M$ stealing
CPU cycles, which on that chip was draining.  On a *timed schedule*, I
kid you not, the system would blue screen, about every three days,
always the same mysterious bug-check code, something about memory not
available yet even going to 16 GB didn't fix it.  It was a *FUCKING
DISASTER*.  The very same OS I first installed on the new machine, on
which is was a dream.

Meanwhile, the old computer had four times the cores, 2.8 times the
minimum clock speed, and four and then eight times the minimum RAM. M$
turned Win10 into a beta of Win11, and eventually those builds were
the only supported ones.  They *lie* about system requirements.

Right now go ahead and, under whatever distro you've recently hopped to,
time a bunch of computing operations that are important to you: startup,
shutdown, reboot, file copy, file delete, file find, open large text
file, open large .pdf, open large image file, app install, app delete,
app launch, etc, whatever.  Save the data in a file.

Years from now (might be 5-6 or more) you'll be resurrecting that file
when you install Win13 on your current hardware.  Then time the same ops
under Win13 on the same hardware.  I 100% guarantee you won't come close
to 'suffering' (by any reasonable definition) with the speed and
efficiency of Win13 compared to whatever Linux distro you're running now.

Don't sell that hardware, you heah?

It'd be an interesting experiment, but it's not about benchmarks of
apps, it's about the OS even functioning in a basic, correct way. This
is why Linux is going to gain more and more.

Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
