“superior fucking dumb” is more like it.

My response wasn’t about memory pressure but rather how that scenario is rather specific.

I havent used windows for years so i don’t know if it performs better or worse than say Ubuntu or Fedora under memory pressure.

I dont know; this seems like super specific case where you’ve economic means to afford or be around all of those high end systems and the same hardware is underpowered for your use case.

My first personal laptop had Windows 7 but as soon as Windows 8 came it struggled (only having measly 2GB of RAM) - so i switched to Ubuntu and it was a breeze for the next 10 years. I always used to try new version of Windows when released but it they always seemed to be memory hog and become bloated over time.
