Is it just me, or has open source software been getting really slow and bloated?
I know web pages are absolute nightmares these days so it's no wonder I can't have as many tabs as I used to on my old computers.
But _everything_ is getting big and slow. I can't run as much of anything as I used to. Once speedy computers are now super sluggish even for basic stuff. All the snappiness is gone.
Yes, I know, time moves on. Many of my computers are fast approaching a decade older than when I first started switching to linux.
But what have we _gained_ during that time?
