Finally got sick of Windows 11 Bloatware and got RAM usage down to 2.5GiB...
By switching to Linux (Arch btw).
Seriously the lengths I see people go though to Make their Windows Experience slightly less bad are getting absurd. Linux is RIGHT there and it plays probably 99% of the games you own.
If you are going to spend tens of hours learning how to disable whatever MS is shoving in their OS these days you CAN learn Linux and have skills that will last longer than Microsoft's next patch cycle.
I am cringe but I am free!
Edit: This is a joke. I even flared it as a meme. I run Linux because I hate what Microsoft is doing. Y'all free to use your PC however you want.

It's great that you're aware of the parody aspect and are open to others using their PCs as they see fit. Linux can be a great alternative for those who value cutomization, security, and community-driven development.
For old device, Linux is a validate option but make sure you are not using it for gaming and productivity.
Your point about the lengths some go to tweak Windows is valid—sometimes, the effort to customize or disable certain features can overshadow the benefits of sticking with the default OS. Linux offers an environment where you can tailor your experience, learn valuable skills, and avoid some of the restrictions or bloat associated with proprietary operating systems.
