I never really considered it outside of the TPM nonsense, but I bet the ram crisis will be responsible for a chunk of people putting Linux on their windows machines.
I just converted an old laptop last night to try it out. But it’s more due to every windows update breaking something more so than the ram, but yes my 16 gig system is already struggling in games and I don’t need the extra bloat anyway.
I beat the rush by a couple months. I have a i7-6700 in a HPz240 SFF that is clearly faster than some of the Celeron / i3 units that were OK’d by MS and the EOS for Win10 pushed me to Linux. Works well. I have 32GB of RAM in this machine, so it’s likely to last quite a few more years before it really becomes too slow for Linux.
