Any tips for beginners, I wanted to upgrade the ram but thats really fucking expensive.

8GB RAM!?? 100 BUCKS?? (You) just won the lottery.

>>15732852
not bad, maybe get rid of W11 since it's not really the best for 8gb ram
either try troonix or windows ltsc

have you used troonix before?
if not use mint it's probably the easiest for beginners

ubuntu is jewish
I personally use windows ltsc but I have used troonix before
I'd try mint or debian with xfce if you want it to be lightweight and don't care about aesthetics
