Linux does the right thing here IMO.  Store what has been accessed from
the filesystem in RAM, but drop it when needed.

I may be a little out of date. I recall stuff like this back in the mid
2000's, so maybe I'm misreading how things are working today.
 
I do know, from practical experience, having the exact same laptop at
work with Window 10 and with Debian at home, that Windows in general
seems to perform worse.  There are other variables at play here, of
course.

  We can fully agree on that. Lean-and-mean is not one of Windows'
virtues.

  We (should) just use what fits our needs best. I've professionally
supported, managed and used Unix/UNIX systems for over two decades and
still use Cygwin - a Linux-like environment - under Windows, the best of
both worlds for *me*.

  OS wars are silly, especially if The Other OS (TM) doesn't run the
software one needs/wants.

  (AFAIC.) EOD.
