Linux vs Windows 11: which operating system is actually faster?

SAPO Notícias7 September 2026 at 08:00

The debate over which operating system is fastest is nothing new. A rigorous and automated laboratory test put two PCs with exactly the same specifications head to head. The goal was to compare the performance of Linux and Windows 11 under identical conditions, eliminating hardware variables so that the only difference was the operating system itself. This type of test allows for a fair and objective comparison between the two platforms, eliminating the possibility that a more powerful computer could influence the results. The automated methodology ensures that the tests are repeatable and that the results are not affected by human intervention during execution. The article then analyzed the results of this direct confrontation between the two rival operating systems.

AI has a water problem: Data centers could consume 644 billion liters by 2030

The accelerated growth of artificial intelligence is creating a significant environmental problem: the amount of water needed to cool the data centers that support this technology. Companies like Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Meta are investing billions of dollars in expanding their infrastructure, which could lead to a consumption of 644 billion liters of water by 2030. This intensive consumption of water resources raises concerns about the environmental sustainability of AI expansion, particularly in regions already affected by water scarcity.
