    Compared to what? And based on what advancement of technology and software? What should it take? Cause we can strip features all day long until we get there.

      Compared to Linux which idle at half a gig with the most bloated DE. Hell, even Mac isn’t that bad.

        That’s an opinion, your OS can have whatever you want with however much bloat you want your hardware to have to handle.

          No, it can’t, because you can’t remove the bloat, dummy, that’s the entire point of the problem. People wouldn’t care if they could just remove the bullshit.

            You want a Linux install to take up less RAM? Install a lightweight distro like Endeavor or regular Arch and go with an absolutely minimal build.

            You want that with Windows? There are ISO’s that have Cortana and other preinstalled bloatware already removed, etc. Or you can do the same with PowerShell post-install.

            The more I hear Linux purists talk the more it’s clear their knowledge of windows is either incredibly basic with no attempt to actually learn or fifteen years out of date. Usually both.
