    I know for a fact you can run Windows 11 on 8GB of RAM. I just helped a friend install some software on his 8GB laptop. Now, did I spend five hours uninstalling so many things and snipping Windows down to size? Maybe. But it ran

    If my network connection goes down, I have difficulty using Windows with 64GB RAM.

    Why on earth does losing your network connection make the OS unusable? Like, locks up the mouse and can’t use the keyboard unusable?

    Dude I was playing Grounded (the original not the second) last week and my computer was so hot it was insane. I used to play that on my 6 year old laptop with no issues 3 year old gaming desktop shouldn't struggle. In fact about a year ago it didn't struggle. At all. Windows is just garbage.

    Installed CachyOS two weeks back and I don't think I'm ever going back to windows on a personal machine. It's refreshing to not see copilot or one drive pop ups on every third click. I missed that clean OS feel for long.

    Honestly I’m running Windows 11 Enterprise and I haven’t seen any of the shit people complain about. I have Telemetry turned off via a GPO (something Pro and Home don’t get), I didn’t get copilot shoved down my throat and my updates don’t crash my system

    I also run Win11 with 8GB of ram just fine. To be fair though, its a virtual machine and not my daily driver. But the main reason it works is because I used an Ameliorated package that basically strips down the OS to what it should be. (ameliorated.io) I highly recommend it.

    16GB, I have other systems on 8GB that are also fine.
