Windows was eating a lot of ram on my laptop even on idle, so if was planning to upgrade my ram from 16 to 32 gb, then I checked the prices and made the tactical decision to install Linux instead

It’s also quite nice that Linux/etc let you choose what kinds of things you want it to do in low memory situations. I.e. I was getting some OOM process kills mostly because of a modded minecraft server running, and increasing the zswap max pool percentage to 50, changing the zswap compressor to I think zstd, and enlargening my physical swap partition eliminated them.

zswap
As an aside, I just read that zswap is getting a pretty big performance increase: phoronix.com/…/Linux-Better-Zswap-Performance
