> Linux is often twice as fast with the same hardware and the same software. Why they still haven't fixed it is beyond me.

Linux is no different. Gnome terminal has a ton of input latency compared to xterm. It's like night and day. A lot of graphical apps in Linux have added input latency just like Windows. It's due to layers of UI abstractions and frameworks (the same as Windows but different UI toolkits of course).

That links just shows that VSCode and Atom are both horrendously bad for input latency on any OS.
