Doesn't Windows 11 in practice require even more memory than Windows 10 to operate with decent performance?
Meanwhile my Linux gaming PC seems to actually use less memory than back when it was a Windows machine.
My work laptop was upgraded to Windows 11 and performance has severely suffered.
As someone who usually uses 3 monitors (sometimes 4) and does GIS, it's an issue.
Are you using scaling?
On my work laptop dragging a window from one monitor to the next would make them "snag" in between borders as they struggled and stuttered trying to change the scale.
It looked soooo fucking stupid I couldn't believe my eyes
Oh yeah. If you've got 4 GB ram, win 11 is going to absolutely skullfuck that machine.
