On my unix-based system, after boot I'm sitting at 2gb usage, while Windows would be at >6GB, so it's not that far fetched. Until you try to run any applications..
Windows only takes a lot of RAM if it's available. Try it out with less RAM and it's more around 2 GB I think.
For any computer I use 32 GB seems to be the optimum nowadays.
Exactly so. Windows eats what it can and leave $X free.
I'm sitting at 300 mb usage after boot running Linux and at 250 mb usage on a secondary machine running OpenBSD.
Are you using a desktop environment?
in Linux I use Sway, although I have XFCE installed as a backup.
I think that what makes a major difference is disabling all the trash services that distributions have enabled by default and most users never make use of. To be fair, I disable Bluetooth too, that people find useful. But I don't think that would make that much of a difference.
