    You kind of haven’t addressed the point though, you’ve just pointed out that linux experiences memory pressure less often.

    But OPs point is that Windows is better at it when you inevitably fill its memory. I run multiple clusters of docker containers and virtualised systems in my day to day, and its true that linux (Ubuntu at least) isn’t the best at huge memory pressure, especially when I fill swap. And I’m running the latest intel chip with 32gb. I wish I’d gone 64gb… but, memory prices.

    I don’t know if thats better or worse than Windows though, I haven’t touched an MS machine in a decade.
