Title kind of says it all but it's still baffling. Running an old ass amd fx with 24 gig ram in the other computer. Work laptop is an i7 with 64 gigs of ram and is still slower in daily use. Both have ssd boot drives.

Granted im comparing desktop and laptop. But a 15 year difference is pretty crazy to me.

It's because your Linux PC is doing what you want it to do, and your Win 11 PC is doing what your employer + Microsoft wants it to do.

Yup. My work PC feels sluggish most days. And it's because they are remotely recording my entire screen. And I plugged in my ultrawide lmao.

I get all the AV, remote management etc tooling but damn just plain screen recording 24/7 is some crazy dystopian shit.

I hope someone shits your employers mailbox

Look, underclocking (so next upgrade is just over clocking) the users PCs and stealing a little RAM for the Admin PC discreetly is the only way to get their new ~~gaming rig~~ test server and other work environment tools approved by finance

Tbf throwing a lil underclock on a work machine will save power, reduce heat and noise, and on anything short of an engineers workstation will cause literally 0 impact.

I like to think when your employer told you they would record your screen you went out and bought the highest resolution screen money can buy.

My work computer is connected to an IMAX projector. Have fun, fuckers!

Not really but that would be something.
