Well, the device I was whining about was a pi4 booting from a usb3 hdd (So yes, it will not be instantaneous! because its not an ssd), not an i20 ssd 100 cores device. And I'm not outraged, I looked at it, saw it was a hog and moved on (because again, I care about that stuff). Though, I am slightly outraged at you putting words in my mouth and making a caricature of my self, you don't know me, I don't have an "exceedingly narrow & particular view of progress", I simply know that a device has limited resources, software uses those resources. Allowing software to get less performant, means the system will get less snappy, and that I do hate (mostly because it automatically alerts me of viruses(still have that paranoia) or a runaway process hogging the CPU).
