Is it faster than Windows 10? Does it use less memory than Windows 10? Does it use less hard disk than Windows 10? Does it display fonts more clearly, more smoothly than Windows 10?


From extensive testing of pretty much all recent distros/desktops - yes, except for the last question. Font rendering is nearly but IMHO not quite as finely-controllable, and can on occasion go badly wrong and look terrible.

Saying that, macOS is considerably ahead of Win10 on this front, and also on colour synchronisation.


yes, yes, yes, yes, no
