at idle windows was using 6% of processing power to do nothing.

You think it's doing nothing, but it definitely is doing something. Windows just does more stuff than Linux. For all you know it's rebuilding indexes to make the whole PC run better.

tated the obvious, which

Its running uneccessary stuff for my user, like telemetry, and other preinstalled MS nonsense ai.exe, etc.

And it definetly wasn't building indexes. LOL. I have excel installed, if I type excel in the search with app filter it can't find it.

Also I shared a drive between windows and Linux before. Linux GNOME indexing finds stuff instantly, Windows indexed search still takes forever looking for data.

Lol ok so you're just straight up lying. Good to know it's not worth interacting.

Typical anti-windows troll, just lies through their teeth.
