Windows 11 often requires new hardware. But that will be extremely pricey or have very little RAM for a while.

I dont believe that a single competent person works at Micro$oft anymore, but maybe maybe this could lead them to make a less shitty OS?

And garbage software like Adobe Creative Cloud too?

They obviously dont care about users, but the pain could become too big.

    Yes. 16GB is the bare minimum for regular usage on Windows. On Linux, it is a minimum for “regular to advanced” usage (i.e. more than 5 more complex programs open, Flatpak, Electron apps)

      Recommended minimum for Win 11 is 4 GB.

      The system does not need to use RAM to run multiple programs, it can use secondary memory.
