Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Requires More RAM Than Windows 11?

Canonical has raised the minimum RAM requirement to 6 GB, while Windows 11 still sits at 4 GB. But that's only a number and it doesn't tell the real story.

It's FOSS

I doubt with these specs any Ubuntu derivat is fitting.
There are distributions out there with less scripting in runtime. One could use Debian for example.

@sebsch Debian would work too. 🙌

@itsfoss @sebsch Over time, I question using #Ubuntu over #Debian.

Not sure I’ll use either on my next #Linux build, but #Debian is certainly looking like a more attractive option rn.
