Windows 10 is not better than WinXP or Linux just because you literally don't want to learn what swap/page file are for, even thought a lot of people explained above. Also, don't think modern Linux is the same as Windows 3.1. Modern Linux requires 256MB+ to run with swap, which is less than Windows 10's 350-360MB breaking point. Windows XP's breaking point is at around 64MB. Still less than Windows 10's 360MB. But nooo, the fanboy decided to run the kernel and the 2001 OS with 2MB of RAM to "prove" that his favorite OS that came preinstalled is the best in the entire Universe because it can run at 360MB... (it can actually run at lower if you debloat and despyware it because telemetry does the most RAM-&gt;page file transfers while checking each and every media file and windows defender also scans and tries to load files in RAM so disable it, when I tested Win10, I got it down to 280MB and just 40 processes when idle but still).
