After a month of GNU/Linux only (25 years of dual-booting GNU/Linux and Windows), Windows feels... bloated. So much bloated. Will keep it for muh gaymen but, why does it feel so bloated? Is it just me or did it get worse by time?
Part of the problem as time went on MS made it more difficult to customize and less modular. Meaning you could for example remove certain aspects of the OS and keep it lean for example gaymin. Win98SE you could by default uninstall many components and use third party tools to do even more. Same thing was possible up to XP64 for the most part. You can/could do something similar in Vista and Win7 but it's not the same and prone to falling apart. Android suffers from similar problems now 5.0 to 7.0.

well, it comes preinstalled with Candy Crush, so there is that.

It sounds silly, but Windows gives me the sensation of being more bloated because the taskbar is literally thicker than my MATE panel.

I doubt you've been running Linux for 25 years, you'd have to have been a very early pioneer.

Yeah that's the proper industry standard software you're experiencing.
But you can always go back to the Fisher-Price FOSS knock off garbage versions on Linux.

How fucking pathetic.

Same here, a lot of people says that windows is easier and more intuitive but i definitely think the reason is because most of us grow with windows as if it were the way a computer should work so it's normal that if we already invested probably thousands of hours learning it since we were young something else feels unnatural. The fact is that, after you learn how to use linux, you'll notice how some things on windows that seemed to look natural on windows now looks like a lazy design.
