My windows “start” menu takes at least a full minute to open. Then, when I select, say, Control Panel, it takes another full minute, totally blank with no options
I’m not a programmer or even smart, but isn’t that absolute shite? I’ve used Commodores, Apple II, Macs, 386, 486, have used windows since first job (I don’t remember my first Windows version, but it played Tetris in color. Three? haha 3)
Menus have always worked before.
My next laptop will be linux Mint because I like mint ice cream. Does it have menus that open? I am super excited.
I apologize but it made me really mad and now i feel better.

Mint runs like a scalded dog on my hand-me-down Dell laptop. Yes, the menus work. I’d bet it runs amazing on newer hardware.

That’s a high-voltage simile right there, goddamn
Edit: and yes, on my high end custom rig it goes like greased shit through a… Lightning… Pig?

It’s one I picked up from one of my very country uncles when I was young. It just stuck.
It’s marginally better than “runs like a raped ape”, as another , more city uncle used to say. Thankfully this boomer ass gem did not stick in my speech patterns.
Edit: damn yakko, that is the first time I have seen you lose your way with words.

Awoken at 4 will do that. I’m beyond coffee.
Sometimes I prefer a malaphor though (or possibly it’s malaprop when it’s a simile?)

Fair enough, but oof, I hope your day becomes more agreeable.
