From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have a worstation Zbook, not newest but very good specs. The problem with Windows is it is inconsistent. Sometimes things go well, and sometimes like OP mentioned I open a folder in file explorer and i get a white window while Windows figures out if it wants to show me files in that folder.
Sometimes I unzip an archive and no folder or files showup, even after a refresh, so I try the unzip again and it tells me thr files/folder already exists LOL.
When I add a network share to a mapped drive letter in the command prompt it shows up fine in the command line for use, but does not update network mapped drives in File Explorer. Last Year this worked 100% fine...so some update killed whatever update process should happen.
I could go on, but I think you would get bored. And before people say "it must be your machine" I also run another brand new workstation managed by a corporation. Many weird issues there also.
