Eh, Windows, even when left isolated from the network, no updates, no installations, just normal usage, definitely degrades in performance over time. I know because I work with machines which use windows on their HMIs (terrible choice) and I see it happening.
Simply because software doesn’t degrade performancewise. It gets better on a new machine.
Unless someone goes like “Sure, users probably never need this heavy feature but let’s bundle it anyway because fuck them!”

Exactly. Usually it’s uncleaned clutter accumulating and filling swap. Linux, BSD, IRIX etc. are not affected by this.
In some cases it’s hardware which would affect other OSs aswell.
