      So you can afford 128GB of ram, a motherboard that can support that, a processor that can address that… and you’re running a 2080ti?

      It’s such an odd configuration I wouldn’t be surprised if the Nvidia driver were causing the issue. Contrary to the concept of a “unified driver,” the code for your GPU probably hasn’t been touched by nvidia in a while. Either that, or maybe you’ve got all that hardware, but you’re running Windows 8 or something else odd.

        W10/11

        And yes the gpu needs an upgrade, but I don’t have a server in need of it yet so it stays in my personal computer

        And on Linux it handles everything I need

          I am not going to troubleshoot this via Lemmy, but it does sound interesting. The fact that you specifically mention the combination of your GPU plus the 128GB of RAM still suggests to me that it’s a hardware or driver issue.

          Windows has supported 128GB of RAM since Windows XP x64 Edition.

      You seem to be confused. We’re talking about an “OS for the masses”. What you’re talking about is so far beyond the “high end for the top tier enthusiasts” that it’s not even funny.

          Sure, mate. 128 GB of RAM is clearly “for the masses”. :D

          To quote the classic: “the best thing about Linux is the community. The worst thing about Linux is the community”.

            Did you even read what I said?

            If Windows needs more than 128gb of ram then it’s not for the masses because the masses have less than that

              What are you trying to argue here, mate?

              We’re talking about OSes for the average user. You said that Windows with 128 GB is “not stable and not ready out of the box, unlike Linux”.

              Then you said “if it doesn’t work on that, then it’s not for the masses”.

              So what exactly is your point?
