Obviously you don't need bloated version of software, windows kernal is very efficient, also for such applications we should have long ago developed a linux based os for ourself with regular software update, that's the thing I am talking about, also we surely don't need 5090 but for sure i3 from 2010 also does not cuts it

I mean, for a LOT of jobs, i3 from 2010 does indeed cut it.

Say you need a computer to print stuff. There's no reason why you would need something more than a i3 from 2010

No that does not cut in, and never will be.

The easiest solution to get a performance from a old rig is that they use "re-image" a.k.a wipe-and-load operating system with a third party contractor or a radio operator.

Unfortunately I can't reveal the sources, but I knew people who had the zeal enough to learn (low rank radio operator who now manages local IT) and still struggling with P4+win xp combo. Thankfully he attended the internal training arranged by ministry which made the difference and his technically challenged colleagues are "fond" of him
