Why are you running?

Because you wanted so.

I'd add slack to that

You can just disable all autostartup stuff in the Startup tab of task manager (on Windows).

@Haxk20 oh please, stuff auto starting on a Linux system can also slow it down. Not to mention the weird thing Networkmanager does when it refuses to let you boot fully till it's connected to your network devices.

We Windows folks also generally have more things to run :p

Hehee
