Linux is slower since it has less developers

Most linux distros don't spend all their cpu time churning through your data and reporting back what they're scanning
Except Ubuntu, filthy sellouts

Ubuntu is slower and shitter because it has no driver support.

the technical reason for your retardation is a lack of embryonic thyrosine resulting in a low brain metabolism and culminating in terminal cretinism.

sorry.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

It's not always faster, but generally it is the ability to refine how many processes you have running at once.

In situations where both systems were optimized sometimes Windows has proven to be faster, usually from having access to better drivers.

See how answers in this thread are jokes?
That's because linux simply isn't "faster" than windows anymore.

ubuntu unironically has the best driver support of any operating system ever

I don't know if they ever fixed it, but the fact that they even tried it forever ruined my trust in them. When I tried searching my computer for a file and instead got shopping results from Amazon that were curated to me by my desktop behavior, that's when I knew it was time to abandon Ubuntu for good.

It might have more working drivers but they are not always optimized like proprietary drivers in Windows.

>defending proprietary drivers

Because it isn't bloated to the core. The kernel was good from the start. Windows kernels had a bad foundation from the very beginning

>What are the technical reasons that make linux faster than windows?
Linux runs at least 4 times slower than Windows on my machine

The facts are the facts, jack

Less pajeet.

lol

Less shit.
But, to be fair I think the actual kernel of Windows could overall be faster.

lies
the answers in this thread are jokes because this is Sup Forums.
linux is faster than windows for two main reasons
>It is more efficient, due to unix philosophy + open source, among other things.
>It is simpler. You can remove whatever you don't need and keep what you want. You can build it from scratch if you really want.

>Because it isn't bloated to the core
10 years ago Linus said the linux kernel was bloated and scary, it's only gotten worse since. And of course sysD exists

>It's faster because it's open source!
Jesus fucking christ.

he's talking about the kernel. the mistake he made was refering to ntkrnl as windows

Are you that brainlet from a while back who compared Linux speed by running it from a USB stick compared to Windows being properly installed?

What are the technical reasons that every post accompanied by a picture of a frog is complete garbage?

developers work on things they like when they feel like it, for the purpose of using that thing. they're not pressured to shit out something that "works"

this

they did technically fixed it

Better filesystem and a graphical shell that isn't a resource hog, unless you're running GNOME.

The sad thing is if they did a truly good server version of the NT kernel and stripped everything out thats useless and replaced the filesystem it would probably run faster then the Linux kernel.
We are just lucky all the good people at Microsoft are either old or already left the company.

new incoming opt in/out hardware info query from the user base
he's just an exaggerating faggot

proprietary drivers are crap
you can see this by checking out linus' denial to take their offered code because it's so shit
