They've done a lot of vowing and promising and announcing future changes lately.
How about shut up, Microsoft, and let the changelogs speak for themselves?

Windows 11 going to just Linux based soon huh?
Even if they actually pull it off, shouldn't we want to optimize regardless of any shortages?
For the end users, yeah, it would be a fairly high priority. But Microsoft doesn't have to pay for your hardware, so unless it's genuinely a problem that loses them lots of customers, they don't care.
Well, optimization takes dev time. You can use dev time for other things too
debugging, improving performance on systems with enough memory, adding features, improving security. Or not use the dev time and cost less. So it's a tradeoff.
Linux:
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 13Gi 2.5Gi 9Gi 816Mi 2.2Gi 11Gi
Swap: 4.0Gi 0B 4.0Gi
This didn't format well when phone was portrait, but looked ok when landscape.
Bit late
Yay! now we just need to rid the world of the gamer bros and nature will heal itself.
