2080 ti and 128gb of ram - it is definitely not stable and unlike Linux isn’t ready out of the box

So you can afford 128GB of ram, a motherboard that can support that, a processor that can address that… and you’re running a 2080ti?

It’s such an odd configuration I wouldn’t be surprised if the Nvidia driver were causing the issue. Contrary to the concept of a “unified driver,” the code for your GPU probably hasn’t been touched by nvidia in a while. Either that, or maybe you’ve got all that hardware, but you’re running Windows 8 or something else odd.

And yes the gpu needs an upgrade, but I don’t have a server in need of it yet so it stays in my personal computer

And on Linux it handles everything I need

I am not going to troubleshoot this via Lemmy, but it does sound interesting. The fact that you specifically mention the combination of your GPU plus the 128GB of RAM still suggests to me that it’s a hardware or driver issue.

Windows has supported 128GB of RAM since Windows XP x64 Edition.

You seem to be confused. We’re talking about an “OS for the masses”. What you’re talking about is so far beyond the “high end for the top tier enthusiasts” that it’s not even funny.

If Windows doesn’t work on that, then it’s not for the masses

Sure, mate. 128 GB of RAM is clearly “for the masses”. :D

To quote the classic: “the best thing about Linux is the community. The worst thing about Linux is the community”.

It seems like a weird middle-ground that might be used in a weird 5 year old server. Probably not great for gaming. But I too had stability issues with all of my windows installations. (1.5 laptops, a prebuilt and later the machine I use now which I started using with windows) All of them had regular BSODs (though the laptops were a little older and might not always have been that way) and one pc even broke the Windows Bootloader so that I couldn’t boot it anymore.

Out of curiosity - were you using any “debloaters” or other scripts/apps that were supposed to “fix” or “speed up” Windows?
