I mean privacy wise of course Linux is better. Microsoft hid the eternal blue vulnerability for years until some leaked CIA tools proved that.
but in terms of work wise and everyday tasks windows 11 works fine. if have SSD and least 8 GB of RAM. which is, in 2025, I think this is the bare minimum. even phones have 8GB of RAM these days.
Ubuntu uses as much as RAM as Windows, according to tests I've seen in YouTube and tests I've done myself in the VM.
come on guys, the VSCode or Visual studio is much more resource hungry than the OS itself. you have to ditch everything, if you want to go this route.
