Just a week ago, we discussed Microsoft's efforts to enhance File Explorer performance by preloading the application at startup. Recent testing by Windows Latest suggests that this approach results in diminishing returns, as the application uses more RAM while offering only marginal performance impr...
This is one area where I will agree with MS. 32 MB extra RAM consumption is worth it for even a moderate speed boost.
That being said, the vast majority of modern applications run like shit. You have electron apps which are comically terrible in their performance metrics, but even beyond that you often have apps takeing up 100s of MBs and eating up a stupid amount of RAM considering what they do.
Yea the damn start menu is an electron app now. Ffs where did we go wrong?
It might be one of those placebo feelings, but I think my PC is running slightly worse and I’m working on a video right now I need to edit with Premiere so I’m thinking of formatting my PC, I haven’t done so in many years.
If you are not forced to use premiere then use Davinci resolve and if you think it’s good and still worried about performance you might want to try Linux. Though you should do it only if not satisfied with your current system
Resolve has some quirks on Linux. In particular it doesn’t support certain codecs.
Really? I never heard of it but at the same time i didn’t really used it
If you reformat, look into 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC. massgrave.dev
Making desktop applications has become a nightmare in anything but C or C# and that isn’t exactly a language people really want to be programming in these days. That is a big part of the problem there aren’t good GUI bindings for a lot of languages and most programmers nowadays have been building websites and working with GUI APIs is a huge step back.
Everyone is preferring server/web solutions now as its easier to charge customers for it and keep it up to date and the knock on consequence is desktop app support isn’t great or considered important.
