But windows is actually the best operating system there is>just werks>doesn't tie you to specific hardware like mac
Linux mint does both but better
>>106564041>just werksMake Windows 11 use less than 1GB of RAM after a cold boot, and I will consider it to be in a working state.>doesn't the you to specific hardwareTPM 2.0 kek>>106564098Mint is shit but it's still better than Windows 11
>>106564098Nah man linux doesn't just werk, if it did, no one would be paying microsoft lmao
>>106564115>Make Windows 11 use less than 1GB of RAMwhy? I have 32 GB RAM on my laptop, most of the time RAM usage stays at16-18%
>>106564129>why?So that I can use my other 31GB on actual tasks?>most of the time RAM usage stats at 16-18%Why the fuck should Windows require 5GB of RAM to just exist? You don't have 32GB of RAM in practice: you have only 27GB.
>>106564141>Why the fuck should WindowsCuz it's software too? And with all sorts of modern utilities and functionalities.
>>106564149>with all sorts of modern utilities and functionalities.These "modern utilities and functionalities" eating up your RAM after a boot are telemetry and stupid incompetent programmers making every component of Windows as resource-hungry as possible. Every little component in modern Windows is effectively made for a different operating system from each other and bundles in its own runtimes and libraries and other bullshit that needs to be loaded into memory, all because modern Microsoft's engineers are too fucking stupid to just write C code for the Windows Shell. People sometimes criticise pic related for being visually incoherent, but the biggest problem is that all this different shit along with the dependencies have to be loaded into RAM instead of just leveraging the common Windows Shell.Windows 7 didn't need 5GB of RAM after a cold boot. Modern Linux doesn't either. So what useful things are modern versions of Windows doing with those 5 gigs that are absolutely superior to what's seen on Linux/older Windows?
>>106564141>why the fuck should windows require 5 GB of ram to just exist?...it simply doesn't.it just pre-allocates and pre-loads more stuff if you have more ram instead of just wasting it to improve performance.go ahead and install windows 11 on a 2 gb VM, it will use less than a gigabyte at idle just like a Linux distro would, how the fuck do people still struggle to understand how this works?
>>106564141>you don't have 32 of ram in practice: you have only 27 GBno, more and more stuff will get unloaded the more ram you use, fill all your ram with a bunch of programs and then close them all, your idle ram use will now have dropped far below 5 gigsagain: you just haven't ever spent 5 minutes investigating this and are complaining about a positive feature that windows has (aka: not wasting resources)
>>106564041>Breaks shit every update now days>jUsT wOrKsOkay retard
>>106566181>>106566202Okay anons, but what if I don't want my OS eating up Ram for useless shit that it has no business doing it for in the first place?
>can't pick up cute twinks at starbucks with itWindows PCs are useless.
>>106566202>more and more stuff will get unloadedMore like saved to a page file kek
>>106566224you didn't even read a single line of the posts you just replied tothe question you're asking just doesn't even make any sense"ok but what if I want my os to waste a bunch of resources kicking stuff out of ram and then reading it again from disk shortly after as if I'm memory constrained even when I'm not so that I lose performance for no gain?"...there's no reason to prefer that behaviour unless you have no clue of how computers work
>>106564118There's no need for the individual user to pay to microsoft.It's always businesses, who have large fleet of computers, are easier to audit and can be threatened with larger fines, who cave and pay for Windows™ loicense.
