This is me. I got a new work laptop last November with a good spec and loads of ram, because I’m a “power user” … and it absolutely drags on every little thing.

Windows Explorer falls over sometimes. Click on the start menu and wait for it to catch up. Lots if waiting for updates to complete. Don’t get me started on actually running MS programs on it.

And this is the Enterprise version with the worst shit already switched off.

Meanwhile, at home I have a 12 year old Thinkpad that was decidedly mid-spec when new, with completely stock Linux Mint, which flies along (the only change from stock being an SSD, and lots of stickers). I don’t even need to switch to a lighter window manager :-)
