on linux? nah.

try using windows on a machine that old if you want to know the true meaning of slow. it will always be updating something meaningless like edge in the background on top of it.

Yes but their RAM management (even though the desktop may use too much by default) seems way better.

On windows? WHAT? You drunk? Linux has zram. This is where the discussion ends immediately.

ZRAM is also not about RAM management. I am talking about the oomd

If on Windows a process is using extremely much resources, mostly you still can open a GUI task manager amd kill it. On KDE if this happens, I am lucky if I can exit to a TTY
