SATA SSD's a thing of the past?

Linux is quite a bit more efficient than Windows in my experience. And it doesn't have so much background stuff going on... There's no Windows updates, .Net optimization, telemetry, defrag, etc, running half the time.

So even an old SATA HDD doesn't run too badly, there's so much less disk activity.

Of course theres no windows updates, its not windows, BUT there are just as many Linux Updates. One of my linux installs had been crashing every damn day, ( usually after its almost daily updates, in the end removed the useless OS, ( linux Mint) and the other day I had to leave a VM updating over night when there was over a GB of updates.
Linux is not a stable as many make out. Of course theres so many different distros theres nothing consistent. AND many answers to fixing Linux is reinstall it -- finding actual any real help is useless, again so many distros and most are different in repairs.
