I really need to upgrade my setup, but I don't really feel like selling one of my kidneys so I can afford 8 gigabytes of RAM (it's not a good kidney so I'm being realistic).
Anyway my current system has windows 11 on it anyway so I might as well just keep using that but as soon as I have the option to leave I'm going to.
I need to keep windows 11 around for work but as soon as I can build a system that can hold to two whole operating systems at a time I'm going to go over to dual booting. Unless the steam machine turns out to be cheaper than anyone's realistically expecting, in which case I might just go that route. The current RAM prices mean that's probably unlikely.
