Not often, granted, but on the same machine, the approximate same amount of data shuffled around in Linux and windows has dramatically different impacts on the system.
I’ve seen it happen two or three times. It’s not a regular occurrence as I don’t keep data on windows filesystems. I still see it on other’s Windows machines though.
I agree that the sample is too small to make it a rule. But it has nevertheless been quite consistent for me.
Had to copy a couple of TB to a new drive the other day.
Just selected all, and dragged them over. Then I just walked away, because even during those rare situations, it doesn’t matter how long it takes.
Only took an hour though, and Windows was still working flawlessly in the meantime. Running on +8 year old hardware even.
You sure you used Windows in the last 20 years?
