> Linux's advantage is slowly shrinking

This is garbage writing. Linux’s advantages are numerous and growing. Ubuntu ≠ Linux. WRT RAM requirements, Win 11’s 4GB requirement isn’t viable for daily use and won’t represent any practical machine configuration that has the requisite TPM 2 module. On the other side, the Linux ecosystem offers a wide variety of minimal distributions that can run on ancient hardware.

Maybe I’m just grouchy today but I would flag this content if sloppy MS PR was a valid reason.

FWIW I find even KDE plasma on wayland perfectly viable on a 4 GiB budget notebook. Windows runs horribly on the same hardware.

Agree. I'm able to do development, run multiple containerized services (including Postgres, NATS, etc), have 10 browser tabs open, all on an 8 GiB laptop running Arch. I have a desktop with 64GiB as well but realized there is no point using it most of the time.

I agree. And even on Ubuntu, the performance vs same specs on Windows is ridiculously better.

Apps are still a huge gap on Linux, but as an OS, I choose it every time over Windows and MacOS.
