Linux and FreeBSD systems? Happy and snappy.
Work Windows system filled with crap corp security software? Open electron apps and wait for them to load.
Personal Windows system? Master of Orion, the remake.

The file system Windows uses (NTFS) has a lot of neat features, but ends up being astronomically slow in unexpected ways for some file operations as a result.

See, so I've never seen the purpose of NTFS streams. In a cyber security course, I was warned to look out for Alternate Data Streams, but got an unsatisfactory answer when I prodded the instructor for more (it was apparent that didn't have anything beyond a surface level understanding of them).
Your link was informative in grasping what they are, but I still don't think I'm clear on how they're used in the "real world". Like, what (and how) would one use them for a legitimate purpose?

I love it for disk cache as I can then get slow drives. After the prefetch during boot (once every few months), things are just smooth.
