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
Kinda same. I couldn’t get to 11 because of the lack of a TPM. Upgrading is expensive. Linux is not.
Nice, Microsoft has become another tech cancer of a company, it’s good you didn’t upgrade to 11
Do you want to store things long term or short term?

I got a 1 TB SN850X for $90 a couple years ago for my game and page file drive. Also Patriot 2x8 5600 for like $80 in 2023. Very disappointing what has happened since then.
I’m a hoarder who never uninstalls Steam games even if I don’t foresee playing them again. I bought an 8TB nvme drive last summer for $545. I questioned my life choices when I bought it, but now the same drive is $1750. I feel better about my purchase.
That’s not really a contest because i can’t afford either of those at their current prices.
