This means if in a function Windows is better Windows, if Fedora is better Fedora. Partly I had 2 disks in the system one for Windows, one for Fedora. But since I work with laptops I use Fedora on USB connected media, currently Fedora on a 64GB usb 3.0 connected flash medium. Fedora is in this configuration -as I feel- quite quick, as it would be on the internal disk. As mass storage I use the laptop internal Windows disk. I saw that data transfering from the Laptop internal disk to an external disk and vice versa is much more quicker, when it's controlled from Fedora on usb flash medium, then it is, when controlled from the laptop internal disk, there are many examples where fedora is comparable ( or better) as the Apps of Windows.

Yeah, it'd be neat to find a way to recruit people who individually
are interested in solving a problem, but have only narrow expertise. A
way to put together a team. Something like a dating app for developers
and projects, haha.
