    Why the fuck does the OS need so much memory?

      Everything always gets bolted on with no consideration for memory footprint. It’s basically 2 decades of software inside the memory because if they delete something it breaks.

      Mine doesn’t, maybe you are using the wrong one?

      This was supposed to be a shamless Linux plug, but in order to be useful for some people I’d recommend debloating your Windows installation. I’ve had good experience with Raphire’s debloater.
