i find linux to be quite slow too when i right click and choose properties- seems like it takes a long time to get to the amount of space on the drive- windows 10 seems to be almost instant-

Know what? I was wrong. It is counting files. I might be wrong, but I think windows keeps up with this on the fly because it has a registry. Linux doesn’t have a registry. It has to recount for new new files when you query it.
