Pros of Linux: It'll use less resources
Cons of Linux: It'll use you as a resource if you want to run things

[vulkanosaure]

Windows has a really elegant and readable UI to let the user see how terribly they manage his ressources

The fact that pingu looks exactly like Linux logo

[thebasketballhistorian]

Windows example = looks like a desktop OS

Linux example = looks like a 1990's air traffic controller terminal screen

Linux:
Pros: Uses little to no resources to run
Cons: Your time and sanity are the main resources

Everybody gangsta until the ram usage when idling is measured in megabytes

Back then, drivers on Linux was headache, drivers on Windows was a breeze.

Today I don't really need to install any driver on Linux, meanwhile some printers and old USB-serial-TTL stuff are headache on Windows.

Linux: perfect for the kind of people who never stopped playing Dwarf Fortress

"You moved the mouse cursor. Restart Windows to apply changes." we said jokingly in the mid 90s.

My laptop stopped to behave like an airplane when I switched to Linux

Windows 11 uses more RAM compared to Windows 10 but a lot goes into unuseful pre-loaded system stuff (Link to your phone for shared clipboard/screenshots etc, background services for telemetry when something crashes, background apps even from your laptop manifacturer)
RAM usage is not an issue if it uses well caching and CPU, but the issue is that Windows 11 does not (even compared to windows 10 and 7).
Windows 11 is a lot stable, but when you look into low spec systems, standby usage and idle usage, you will be terrified.
