<p>MITM usually will not work in case of pkg managers, since packages are signed. But still, attacker can learn what kind of software is installed on target. So I believe that HTTPS for privacy in case of linux package managers are fair enough.</p>

<p>Either you haven't been when context menus / explorer was blazingly fast or something odd happens there, since I can confirm that on brand new PC (128GB RAM, 9950X3D, 5090) with vanilla Windows 11 it still lags and annoys a lot after some linux distro.</p>

<p>I held the same view as you when I was 22, more than 15 years ago.<p>With over 15 years of professional experience since then, my perspective has shifted: Java demonstrates its strength when stability, performance, and scalability are required (e.g. bloody enterprise)<p>A common misconception comes from superficial benchmarking. Many focus solely on memory consumption, which often provides a distorted picture of actual system efficiency.<p>I can point to EU-scale platforms that have reliably served over 100 million users for more than a decade without significant issues. The bottleneck is rarely the language itself, it is the depth of the team’s experience.</p>

<p>It is an outdated claim.<p>I have both 4090 (workstation) and 7900XT (to play some games) and I would say that 7900XT was rock solid for me for the last year (I purchased it in Dec 2023).</p>

<p>Random dude making the same thing is not the same thing what MS does.<p>1. You have a choice. With MS you don't. You can't opt-out, at least for now.<p>2. And as prev buddy said, you never know what MS will do with your data.<p>3. Recall will be heavily targeted and from day-1 some malware will target it. Random dude's pet project doesn't (even though it is a security through obscurity).</p>
