Nitpick I know but race cars in well run series actually have quite good safety - just not in the same way because the environment and expectations are different. You don't need/want a reversing camera or parking beeps and boops...

I think part of MS issue is that they keep bundling and pushing "crap useful to some minority" (as well as unwanted ads and features too) by default into ostensibly "your" system and making it hard to focus on what you want it for.

If you want it to focus on gaming performance... well it's more about arcane tweaks rather than having a turn off the shit button.

Maybe the coming Win10 EoL will see a few % points jump to Bazzite or some other linux gaming-focussed distro.

Considering a common use for Windows these days is Steam Launcher, performance is kind of a big deal, actually. Literally the only thing I use my desktop for is to play games, so yes, performance is pretty much the only thing I care about with it.

Race cars have heaps of safety systems not present in road cars. They don't have ABS and traction control because they don't actually increase safety on track with a professional driver. SRS airbags also offer no additional safety when in a 6 point harness and wearing a helmet and neck brace.

Race cars have drastically more safety features than road cars. Your road car doesn't tether your helmet to your headrest to protect your neck and doesn't have a roll cage, for starters.
