I get memory related freezes on macOS all the time. And back when I was forced into running Windows, I used to get memory-related freezes daily. Literally daily. So I’m really not convinced the situation is drastically different there. I mean if it were that simple, Linux would have fixed it already.

Windows makes you miserable when low on RAM. Linux makes you miserable when you get out of RAM.

Yeah I got MacOS freezes sometimes - never checked Activity Monitor to see why though. On Windows it's usually the hard drive being over-used that makes things drag for me.

  Yeah, Windows file system backend is highly object oriented and has a bunch of event driven hooks. Which is great for supporting tools like antivirus. But terrible for lots of small random writes (on area Linux and most UNIX systems excel at).
