Even Microsoft couldn’t make Windows 11 work well on 8GB of RAM (www.theverge.com)

I have to wonder if Microsoft also went to a cheaper (slower) SSD. Windows 11 isn't great with 8GB of ram, but also my experience is Windows 11 can handle a light load without freezing up for several seconds.

I don't get it...I use Windows for my work machine and it's only 8gb of RAM. It handles multiple browsers, plus private windows, rust desk and screen connect at the same time, one note, and another browser running outlook in a pwa app. This is all no issue for me.

All that said, when I figure out how to get screen connect to prompt me for admin creds when I'm doing a remote session with a user, I'll switch to my Fedora machine full time lol
