It covers installing OpenWrt, preparing storage, configuring NFS exports, and mounting shares from Linux workstations. The article also highlights benefits like extending router lifespan, reducing e-waste, and using static IPs or CIDR for access control.https://hiltsu.codeberg.page/en/posts/why-windows-11-feels-slower-than-linux-a-technical-exploration/Fri, 15 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000https://hiltsu.codeberg.page/en/posts/why-windows-11-feels-slower-than-linux-a-technical-exploration/This article explores why Windows 11 feels slower than Linux for everyday browsing, using a controlled virtualized test environment and Wireshark network analysis. Key findings show that Windows 11 generates significant background network traffic due to telemetry, cloud integration, and update services, while Linux Mint remains leaner and more responsive. The analysis also highlights differences in networking stack efficiency, system resource management, and even shutdown behavior, with Windows continuing to communicate with Microsoft servers until the very end. The conclusion suggests Linux may be a better choice for network-heavy workloads and overall speed.
