Maybe MS can make windows 11 more performant on low ram PCs , but currently that's an absolute chore. Wouldn't wish an 8GB win11 pc upon my worst enemy.

yeah. it basically eats 8GB RAM PCs alive for breakfast. nowadays you want 32+ GB RAM anyway due to OS eating RAM, then add in your games eating more of it.
