Performance

gollark: Well, Windows/Linux don't mostly-require expensive and yet poorly designed hardware.
gollark: Or other insanely expensive stuff like Razer products.
gollark: Imagine buying Apple products.
gollark: I've been pleasantly surprised by Android today. I had some weird issue with the ROM I'm using and it only required 10 minutes of digging through random github issues and adjusting random configuration parameters (which you need root to do because of course) to fix!
gollark: I think it's primarily done on GPUs these days.
