    As a dev that has to use windows, our laptop was fine on windows 10 with 32gb until it fell out of support and they updated everyone to windows 11.

    After much fighting and proving with evidence that it was causing insane problems. They upgraded the devs to 64gb. I’m talking build times jumping from ~20 seconds to 15+ minutes if the ram use crept above about 70%…oof.

      Honestly some of my biggest fights are with browsers being ram hogs and edgewebview2 constantly shitting the bed causing excessive ram utilisation and various crashes to basic office applications
