Unfortunately for Linux, the recent ram price increases are reason not to move (if thinking about a new pc).

Can you elaborate on why high RAM prices mean Linux is less attractive? Do you believe a usable Linux environment uses more RAM than a usable Windows 11 environment?

  • They are assuming you’d build a new machine for Linux, I think.

    OTOH Windows 10 support ran out recently so I guess there are a lot of unsupported Windows machines that could be perfectly fine as Linux refurbs.
