I actually just switched from a laptop with 4G of RAM this year. It had a spinny drive so it was a little slow, but I was really only using it to watch videos over the network. This was all very snappy once it booted. Opening Firefox was pretty painful and would cause swapping though.
Tbh you can probably make a Linux install act like windows if you wanted. So that's another point in favour of switching for people who are undecided. It can be as slow and bloated as your windows install if you want it.
I dual boot. It's so painful to go back to windows but some work related software doesn't run at all in Wine. Perhaps I should VM W10 or W11.
It's an old meme but it checks out
Well, to be honest, I went a little overboard and installed Cinnamon on Arch. My girly setup with 4gb can no longer do push-ups with one finger.
16GB RAM on windows is more than enough
And pretty sure 4GB on linux sucks
Well... Not exactly, Linux doesn't handle low RAM very well. Usually the system just crashes if you open too much stuff
