Linux:

Swap:          4.0Gi          0B       4.0Gi

Bit late

Even if they actually pull it off, shouldn't we want to optimize regardless of any shortages?

Well, optimization takes dev time. You can use dev time for other things too --- debugging, improving performance on systems with enough memory, adding features, improving security. Or not use the dev time and cost less. So it's a tradeoff.

For the end users, yeah, it would be a fairly high priority. But Microsoft doesn't have to pay for your hardware, so unless it's genuinely a problem that loses them lots of customers, they don't care.

Windows 11 going to just Linux based soon huh?

They've done a lot of vowing and promising and announcing future changes lately.

How about shut up, Microsoft, and let the changelogs speak for themselves?

This didn't format well when phone was portrait, but looked ok when landscape.
