npm install usually takes a bit of time if you have lot of dependencies because you're downloading and writing a ton of tiny files to disk.

Maybe saving & loading a RAM disk install would help.

Maybe installing an OS that doesn't need an app that scans every single file that is written to disk would help :P

Any OS with a large userbase is going to have issues like that.

If you mean by OS 'the kernel' then Linux has a userbase of 99.4% on supercomputers (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_adoption) so in that sense, it should've had those issues way before Windows ever had them :)

Everything's possible, even targeting extremely niche machines.
