    Windows 11 with 16 also runs like hot garbage, so I’m not sure if it’s a ram issue. I’m sure more ram helps, but I don’t think it’s the main problem. I’ve not used 8 GB in a while though, so maybe some updates really changed things.

      My work computer is an i9 with 64GB of RAM and it also runs like shit. It’s really noticeable how bad performance is since I switched to Linux full time on my personal systems and have a frequent comparison point.

        Exactly my experience. My Linux machines with 16GB of ram run circles around my work imposed W11 machine that has 64GB of ram.

      experienced this first hand the other day… fresh boot and the damn thing is using like 11gb. luckily this was not my machine, and I’m on a Mac, but I felt the guys pain.
