⏱️ Test de laborator Neowin: Linux spulberă Windows 11 în sarcinile zilnice și managementul resurselor!O analiză recentă publicată de Neowin detaliază rezultatele unui test riguros de laborator efectuat pe configurații identice pentru a evalua performanța reală dintre Windows 11 și Fedora Linux. Rezultatele au arătat o dominare aproape totală a distribuției Linux în ceea ce privește viteza de execuție, eficiența I/O și utilizarea memoriei. ✨ Punctele cheie ale testelor de laborator (Fedora Linux vs. Windows 11):🧠 Utilizarea memoriei RAM în starea de inactivitate (Idle):• Fedora Linux: A consumat doar 32.9% din memoria sistemului (~2.27 GB pe un sistem cu 8GB RAM).• Windows 11: A blocat masiv resursele, utilizând 85.2% din memoria RAM (~6.47 GB) încă din starea de idle. ⚡ Performanța I/O și de compresie / dezarhivare:• Linux a obținut timpi drastic mai rapizi la dezarhivarea arhivelor mari și la operarea pe fișiere, în special prin comparație cu utilitarul nativ File Explorer din Windows.• Viteza superioară a sistemului de fișiere (ext4/btrfs) pe Linux a oferit câștiguri de secunde bune la încărcarea proiectelor în medii de dezvoltare precum VS Code.🚀 Operare și repornire (Reboot):• Deși timpul de pornire la rece (boot) a fost comparabil între ambele sisteme, testele de repornire (restart) au evidențiat un avantaj clar pentru Linux, Windows 11 având o latență sesizabilă cauzată de serviciile de fundal.🎮 Singura zonă unde Windows 11 păstrează un ușor avantaj: Gaming-ul:• Windows 11 a reușit să obțină o lansare marginal mai rapidă în titluri de linie precum Cyberpunk 2077 (54.3s față de 57.0s pe Fedora prin Proton).• Totuși, marja este minimă, confirmând că stratul de compatibilitate Proton a eliminat aproape complet decalajul istoric de performanță. 🔗 Sursă și articol complet:https://www.neowin.net/news/lab-test-shows-whether-linux-really-is-faster-than-windows-11/📌 Concluzie:Testul confirmă că Windows 11 continuă să sufere din cauza încărcării cu servicii secundare și a gestionării ineficiente a memoriei, în timp ce Linux (Fedora) oferă o experiență de lucru mult mai fluentă, rapidă și suplă pe același hardware! 🚀 #Linux #Windows11 #Fedora #Neowin #Benchmarks #TechNews #PCPerformance #SysAdmin #OpenSource #GamingOnLinux

Big Tech, AI, and Health Data – Not a Good Mix

The "move fast and break things" approach means that it's not a question of if this medical/health data gets hacked or made publicly visible, but when.

Mozilla has decided to give the Grim Reaper a full-time job by axing even more #Firefox services nobody remembered existed. 🪦🔥 Meanwhile, #Neowin continues its relentless quest to fill your newsfeed with irrelevant tech tidbits that make your eyes glaze over faster than an unattended bowl of oatmeal. 🙄🍵

draft - why doesn't neowin.net have an edit button

#neowin

I thought neowin could sorta be my way to post stuff instead of on reddit, on a more traditional forum. Without having to worry about karma.

But without an edit button, I'm a little bit weary.

The problem with making a comment on reddit to a thread is that your comment, when good intentioned, can get downvotes. Now, maybe if subreddit admins could limit downvotes to like zero or minus 1, or even remove downvoting altogether, that'd be interesting.

But like, today I made a comment on a thread of chrome extensions. And it was a good extension. I also made a post somewhere. While the post was upvoted a few upvotes, the comment was at zero. Not negative luckily, but it still felt so like "why would this affect my karma in a negative way".

Is there such a thing as federated forums?

draft - neowin and the inability to edit comments

eh. i thought neowin was a good forum for like, yaknow, to be my antithesis of like, reddit in terms of how everytime on you make a comment on reddit, you kinda have to be thinking, "will this be able to not go into negative territory" in terms of karma. and so, i thought that it was good. and its ok. the issue is that, we can't edit our comments. so that's sort of ... sad. i searched the forums for the word edit and found this:

https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1238196-can-only-edit-comments-once/#comment-596667206

"There is a time limit for edits, after which they can no longer be edited."

so then, neowin would not really be something i'd want to be using as, i prefer the ability to have forever editing for my digital footprint.

#alternativestoreddit - although i hesitate to put this hashtag, as, due to the inability to edit one's comments, this is sort of *not* exactly an alternative to reddit. macrumors seems to be more of the alternative for now maybe

Microsoft does everything so that users do not abandon its browser. The question is whether such aggressive tactics will not bring the opposite effect?
