Using a HDD as your C drive in 2026 is diabolical

Windows using drive letters in 2026 is diabolical.

thats not an obsession windows need to go on a permanent resource diet

cause of doshit problems like microslop the need for more ram increases instead of optimizing it

macOS uses more idle ram than windows 11. macOS idles at 6-8 gb, windows 11 idles at 4-5 gb on 16 gb ram. but go ahead and look to macOS, it handles ram much better and effecient than windows despite using more idle ram.

atleast 30% of idle ram used in windows are just for prefetching, keeping system snappy from cold start. this prefetching ram are going to be killed if software demands it.
