    Windows has so much garbage overhead via telemetry, etc. Glad to see someone quantifying how detrimental it is.

          NTFS isn’t the issue, at least in my experience, and not even Microsoft’s implementation of it (though ntfs-3g seems faster). The issue is the File Explorer: Things like reading mtimes of gigantic directories takes maybe a second under linux, nushell under windows (native, not WSL) is just a tiny bit slower, while File Explorer takes minutes to sort by mtime. Coming to think of it I should try Dolphin.

          Generally speaking the problem with Windows is not so much NT but everything on top of it.
