I love threads like this, it's so worthless because Jeets keep defending a bad version of Windows while Lincucks implode mentally because they have no idea how memory management/allocation works. And then they just go back and forth like imbeciles not knowing both sides are braindead.

This is a myth and pure cope. Someone installed Windows 10 on my uncles's PC with 2GB of ram. It took 45 minutes to boot and wouldn't EVER stop trashing the hard drive. It was completely unusable. "Modern" Windows genuinely needs absurd amounts of RAM just to boot.
Put windows 7 on the same PC and that boots in 30 seconds on that same machine, and ran just fine even with modern browsers (ff115esr).
You do not hate modern windows enough.

If the "windows scales its usage by available ram" theory was true, why can't windows10 even exist without 24/7 swapping on 2GB of RAM? Like literally sitting idle for 6 hours and the HDD would still be at 100%.

>>109613104
You need both more ram and an SSD to run windows 10.
And it would still likely run worse than Windows 7 does from a HDD. There is nothing that can justify that.
Btw he lives in a country under sanctions so purchasing or smuggling any components to him wasn't really something I wanted to try. Installing Windows7 solved all the issues anyway.

In Windows7 and a much older CPU than yours I have 0% - 1% when idle, and 32 processes including my browser.

My mom's laptop came with windows 11 and 4gb of ram. That garbage uses literally ALL the fucking ram and sometimes resets the desktop for her, blinking the screen and freezing everything and because of that she thinks it has a virus... While my pc can't have windows 11 because it doesn't have TPM... I'm almost replacing her OS for some linux because no matter what i do to debloat that garbage system doesn't free that extra ram.
>but windows 10
i don't want to install a system that is basically dead for her
>>
>>109613805
get her arch and set up ssh so you can hop in and fix it from anywhere when it breaks
>>
>>109613757
some context for that. that's me trying to load deepseek v4 flash on 96gb of vram and 96gb of system ram. obviously that is enough total but windows didn't want to free the standby (cached (wasted)) ram it had reserved automatically so it just crashed the program for me. how helpful!
>>
>>109613095
why did loading times become so shit after windows 7?
>>
>gui
bloated
>>
>>109613047
My linux system uses 250mb/48gb ram on boot and 4/48gb ram when I have 2000 tabs open in my browser.
>>
>>109613720
If it ain't broke, don't fix it

Isn't that what Linux fellas say?
>>
>>109613047
Is that supposed to be impressive or something? I have Ubuntu on my laptop and it's bloated as fuck but it still uses 6.5GB of RAM with Steam taking 1GB and browser taking around 2GB. Unless Steam and browser are running on that, that's even more bloated than Ubuntu.
>>
>>109613047
Now show the default install, because Win11 is minimum 8gigs unless you're under the minimum where WinJeetSlop attempts to lower the consumption on 8gig devices they say are "valid" for upgrades.
>>
>>109613047
>4.1 gigs after a cold boot
That's a fucking catastrophe and anyone defending this should be executed.

>OS needs Solid State to even run satisfactorily
OH NO NO NO

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Jeet cope about their bloated OS that doesn't run like DOS era titles is always funny. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

>>109613067
sirs unused RAM is wasted RAM
if nothing is running then your OS should cache the entire system partition into RAM for speeds
>>

>sirs unused RAM is wasted RAM
Literal copium and nonsense. You Electron retards use ram (involuntarily btw) to store useless bullshit. OS kernel stores the filesystem cache and page tables.

at best windows allocating all that ram to things i will never use is neutral.
at worst it crashes a program i do want when windows decides not to free the memory.
idk man, this doesnt sound like a good thing.

>4 gigs of ram while running empty
this has to be bait
