Admittedly, there's a light version of Windows 10 that runs pretty snappy on 2GB RAM tablets. I migrated one of those tablets (Asus Transformer of a few years ago) to Linux+Gnome because it was the only desktop manager to properly address screen rotation out of the box (again, it was a few years back) and I found it fairly slower on 2GB RAM than its original Windows 10. Agree completely on everything else: Microsoft totally borked the user interface from Win 8 onward, then decided it wasn't enough and added telemetry, then ads.
