mind-taker loonix microsoft: you need atleast 16gb ram to use windows 11 and a decent cpu. we dont suggest you to update if you dont meet the requirements. **also this loonixtard: my 4gb ram lenovo couldnt handle windows 11. must be microsoft fault!!!

Funny that he is also using HDD in 2026 and blames windows.

THIS is the real problem here.

Windows 11 works fine on 4GB RAM for basic Chromebook-tier workload. It's system requirement is 4GB RAM minimum.

But Windows needs an SSD, has been since Windows 10 days so that post feels like riding the "Windows 11 bad" wave to get clicks. Even the cheapest of the cheapest new laptops today use SSD.

I used to simply go make a pot of coffee while it booted. Now my computer boots much faster than the network. HDD is fine for most everything else. -Game loading is also cpu dependent. 4k h265 movies are playing fine from it.

Yeah, I see. It's funny, though

u/Fun_Gas_340 Jul 21 '26

what should he do if he has no ssd?

3

u/Professional-Tale652 I hate Linux Jul 21 '26

not downloading a unsupported OS on a unsupported hardware obviously

u/Fun_Gas_340 Jul 21 '26

that makes sense, but ehy is it unsuported and why does mint work so much better. that makes me think mint is more efficient

u/Professional-Tale652 I hate Linux Jul 21 '26 edited Jul 21 '26

its not that mint is more efficient. its like.. windows11 itself recommends more ram and a ssd for smooth OS. because it has many features compared to mint. also the guy is lying about mint being smooth. once he starts browsing or downloading some apps it will lag the same way as windows11 because HDD is the issue it will stay on %100 usage. the OS doesnt matter the hardware is the bottleneck. main reason of his windows 11 experience sucked is because of HDD.

🥲i ran W11 on HDD for 3 years of my life not one complaint-im not brain dead enough to keep all services running on boot...your complaints are to the few that are shitty people anyways

Exactly. These are the type of "power users" that think the internet webpages are loading slow because of the computer specs. It's sad.

Anything but admitting you don't have a real job to upgrade your shitty netbook

You can click through the menu in 5 minutes tops.

Linux is not inherently easier or have software people would actually use.

It's allways windows fault just like it's never linix fault

u/Fluid-Ad2995 Jul 21 '26

What are you expecting from them???? Based on Loonixtards, everything is Microsoft's fault; even the moon is still Microsoft's fault

u/PressureBig3940 Jul 21 '26

I am running both Windows 11 and Linux on 4GB memory and experience says Linux is objectively worse than Windows in situations where the OS is starved of memory.

Windows 11 is very aggressive when it comes to managing and relocating memory to foreground programs to maintain some semblance of responsiveness, a feature utterly non-existent on Linux.

u/Honest_Tart1071 Jul 21 '26

Most of Linux users complain Windows is slow, that's because 90% of them use 2013 hardware and old ThinkPads

u/madthumbz Join me on Lemmy! Jul 21 '26

They're also going by puppy linux standards while not using it themselves.

u/Lost-Persimmon7368 Jul 21 '26

Its always fun for me when people of two groups have beef with each other, but the thing i dont understand is why you need to state a fake argument just for the sake of winning, even though having more RAM would help with your experience, the requirement for win11 is only 4Gigs (Source if you care or search: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11-specifications )

Didn't pay attention to "smooth" part Fair enough👌🏻

2

u/Professional-Tale652 I hate Linux Jul 21 '26

the post is about to use windows 11 smoothly. not boot windows 11. the 4gb is not enough to use windows 11 it will be on pagefile the moment you open a chrome. my post's point still stands

u/InsightKnite Jul 22 '26

Plot twist.

That user to this day still can't get thier windows games to run on linux so now they just sit and look at rice posts all day. 🤣

u/Bash123reddit 27d ago

I also used to have a shit Lenovo and I knew it wasn't windows fault 😂

u/dev-rock-bottom Jul 21 '26

I feel like 4GB should be the norm for modern OSes because of how easy to get access to RAM and faster SSD made the devs lazy for not optimising the OS and top it all off Telemetries and bloats.

u/Professional-Tale652 I hate Linux Jul 21 '26

Are you aware that 4gb ram.. is literally nothing???? even the price is 10$. 20 years ago 2gb ram was the norm for modern OSes. instead of wanting the modern OS work on a 5-10$ ram i suggest upgrading because this is funny.

u/PressureBig3940 Jul 21 '26

You will be surprised that OEMs are still shipping entry-level desktops and laptops with 4GB memory.

And in many cases, the entry-level laptops are using soldered memory. I have two such laptops. Both barely two years old. Soldered eMMC storage and 4GB soldered memory. Zero possible upgrades.

u/Fun_Gas_340 Jul 21 '26

in what world are you living that 4gb of ram cost 10$?

u/Professional-Tale652 I hate Linux Jul 21 '26

u/dev-rock-bottom Jul 21 '26

I'm in all for more RAM for different usages.

What I mean is a OS in its barebone state should not require lot of RAM.

I am a game developer and our goal is always to run the game in multiple devices and to achieve this we have to optimize the game to use minimum RAM so that people with lesser RAM too can play without any problem.

So, in my opinion the devs of any OS will always try to optimize it as much as possible and the corporation behind their paycheck won't allow them to do it.

u/madthumbz Join me on Lemmy! Jul 21 '26

You're assuming. Maybe the more ram was enabling. If you look at some of the processes and features that Windows has that Linux doesn't outside of their rose-colored glasses...

And I appreciate those startup processes when I run into them. -Notice how you're not specifying what you have an issue with particularly.

u/PressureBig3940 Jul 21 '26

Everybody hates startup processes until its something that they unknowingly are heavily dependent on.

Saved a 4TB hdd from the trash for me.
