Maybe the RAM shortage will make software less bloated? (feddit.org)

Windows 11 often requires new hardware. But that will be extremely pricey or have very little RAM for a while.

I dont believe that a single competent person works at Micro$oft anymore, but maybe maybe this could lead them to make a less shitty OS?

And garbage software like Adobe Creative Cloud too?

They obviously dont care about users, but the pain could become too big.

Right
But those are only problems because they use the resources in the background. When the foreground app uses a lot of resources it's not a problem because you only have one foreground app at a time (I know, not really, but kinda). Most apps don't need to run in the background.

    Yes, thats the problem? I'm confused what you're not getting here. Those programs are made to constantly run. Many people need both for various reasons. Add a main program like Photoshop and then you don't have enough RAM. People don't load discord, check a message, close it, load Whatsapp, check it, close it, then load Photoshop.

    The RAM usage doesn't suddenly stop because you alt+tab to a different program.
