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.

Task manager is one of the most lightweight tools Windows has these days. It's not slow at all.

"More data points in the graph" doesn't mean the code runs any better. Task manager needs to run on machines where making basic graphs takes up 25% of a CPU core, there's no need to waste CPU cycles taking 60 measurements per second.
