As the RAM apocalypse continues to plague all of us, it’s only fair for users to continue using the more efficient Windows 10, instead of the memory-hogging Windows 11.

Win 10 isn't even that memory efficient and still slams the heck out of plattered disks. Not that I recommend an HDD over an SSD for boot drives, but it was usable up to Win 8.1, and even today with Linux.

    My jaw dropped when i upgraded from hdd to ssd back in win7. Hdd will take about a minute something to boot, but ssd took about 7 second. When ms dropped win7 update i upgrade to win10. The boot time dropped down to about 15 to 20sec. Still not too bad, cachyos took about the same time. But win10 keep bloating whenever there's an update, the thing i never experienced so far on cachy.

    Hdd are just as usable today as they were 10 years ago, and yes in ANY is they suck cock compared to an nvme ssd lol. I think our standards have shifted to see ssd as the norm, it's not like hard drives today are slower than they used to be! Hell my old rig with a sata SSD feels slow compared to nvme
