Curious on the experiences of those recently migrating to Linux from Windows 10, Intel-based MacOS, etc. How is it being on Linux? Anything surprise or frustrate you?

    its nice. just that it runs out of ram when using multiple apps compared to on windows, but i couldnt care less if thats a sacrifice i have to make to escape big tech.

      If you’re having OOM issues you might have have good luck enabling ZRAM

      On Debian based systems it’s as simple as running sudo apt install zram and rebooting

        8gb.

        That’s true. On Windows, it idles at around 4gb, compared to 2gb on Linux. That’s exactly what baffles my mind, as Windows still manages to have some leftover RAM even after all my apps.
