Does Linux use less RAM? (www.youtube.com)

Games need more RAM, but prices are abysmal. Unfortunate, I know. But before you empty your wallet for an upgrade, what if the answer is switching to the penguin side? I ran two identical test benches in real-world workloads to find out if ditching Windows is the only memory upgrade you actually need.

Yes I was waiting for 16 and then 8 GB comparisons. Comparing RAM usage without needing 100 % of it is useless, because as others have said, unused RAM is wasted RAM.
