you do know you want high ram usage, right? like, not too high, but you want a good amount used for speed.
personally, i find the windows portions of my computer take up very few resources. Firefox? a shitton. Nextcloud? More than I would have imagined possible. But windows? not…really. This isn’t 2005 anymore, bud: linux is less secure than windows (less targeted, and virus devs have the same issues as any other devs as getting their virus to run on linux, but still less secure). linux has a solid 10% fps drop in games still according to benchmarks i can find. Linux still requires weird sigils to make the whole system work, and with the most “user friendly” os you still have to relearn how the fuck gnome is supposed to work.
don’t get me wrong, windows has many many many faults, and linux has many many benefits, but on a sliding scale none of windows’ faults come close to the challenges I’ve experienced with even the most linux-friendly of the classic laptop vendors (ie lenovo, not system76).
i have to be very honest here and say that I dont have sufficient technical depth to verify the claims here, just that the claims seem fairly convincing to me. if you have a fair rebuttal i will absolutely read it.

I’ll want to see the math on this one.
