windows 11 straight up requires 16gb of ram now.

it idles at almost 8 (!!!) fucking gigabytes for some stupid reason.

It's using the unused RAM for caching so it can be slower faster

it swaps like hell with 8gb of ram, they truly optimize it to be as slow as possible.

Im so old, but 8 gb still seems like such a large amount of ram when I think of it briefly. And peeps out there with 100 gb lol. But yeah my win11 laptop that has 64 gb, it's slower than my 10 year old amd fx desktop mint with 20 gb. By a lot.

it is! its just windows 11 that's very ram hungry.
