And they sell laptops with 4 GB RAM and pre-installed Windows 11 here. No idea how they work. :)
They don’t!
A friend told me they had a laptop that just suddenly stopped working and took forever to boot up.
Turns out it was a W10 laptop and it prompted them to install Windows 11 which basically made it non functional. Took 10+ minutes to boot and could barely open a single browser window. I installed Linux and suprise surprise the laptop worked perfecly fine.
I don’t understand windows business model for these low end laptops.
They just make windows look bad (not that it’s good).
So many people have “windows slow” imprinted on their brains because they buy a $500 or less computer and expect it to be as good as a 1500 MacBook…
Woah, woah, last time I checked, for $500 you could get pretty decent specs. Though, the last time I checked was in 2019 when I was shopping for a 2 in 1 for school. Since then I’ve bought used and haven’t looked back.
Still, I think you’re thinking in the $150 and under range. Anything more than that for a device with 4gb of memory would be straight up robbery.
No surprise there!
Then they sell useless OOTB laptops. Those laptops desperately need Linux (or BSD).
It’s called enshittification for sure.
It’s beyond that. It’s surveillance software
There are so many better alternatives than both meta and windows. It’s enshitification personified.

TBH that happens when there is enough RAM available. I’d be surprised if the usage didn’t
getgo down under memory pressure.I usually only used the webversion anyway?
First (feels like) everyone complained about apps (for example restaurants) and demanded a web page.
Then there’s a fully functional web page and everyone looses their mind because nothing of value (seriously, what could the native app do better?) was lost.Are there seriously anyone in here, that uses WhatsApp? If so, please revise your life…
Said like a truly ignorant person. There are countries where work teams discuss almost everything on WhatsApp. My mom is a teacher, and all communication regarding work that doesn’t justify an entire official mail happens on whatsapp. Literally everyone’s on whatsapp. Also, it’s not really that hard to just use whatsapp on the web.
Oh, you are truly ignorant - sorry to hear that.
Literally everyone I know, is not on WhatsApp… And most of those I have known to use it, don’t anymore… Why would you, really? You do know that change start with you, right? Or are you too ignorant to know that?
It’s the de facto communication medium in Europe. It’s not much of a choice. Even work related groups are usually over WhatsApp.
Now, I live in Europe, and my family, friends and others, don’t use WhatsApp… So it is much of a choice.
USA =/= rest of the world.
You are right - USA is not the rest of the world… What’s your point?
