Agreed. Windows 11 will technically work with only 4GB of memory, but you can only have one or two programs open at a time and large web apps will be close to unusable. So quadrupling the memory was a good thing to do. I wouldn't have upgraded to Windows 11 if the customer hadn't agreed to the memory upgrade.
Speaking of resource intensive... i3wm is the opposite of that. I am enjoying it on my ThinkPad X270. I have to familiarize myself with it more. Sound is broken. I think the script didn't play well with Devuan. I should be able to fix it myself when I dedicate some time to it.

you could try the following commands..
sudo apt purge pipewire*
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt install pulseaudio
..then reboot
these commands could be helpful too..
sed -i 's/systemctl/loginctl/g' $HOME/.config/i3/laptop.conf
sed -i 's/systemctl/loginctl/g' $HOME/.local/bin/rofi-power.sh
sed -i 's/systemctl/loginctl/g' $HOME/.local/bin/stay-awake.sh
sed -i 's/systemctl/loginctl/g' $HOME/.bashrc
..run as user (not as root), then reboot
if you need to set the default mute and a default volume level..
..add these two lines to the `$HOME/.config/i3/config` file..
exec --no-startup-id sleep 1 && pactl set-sink-mute @DEFAULT_SINK@ false && $refresh_i3status
exec --no-startup-id sleep 6 && pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ 15% && $refresh_i3status
i went ahead and made these changes into a script.. ..you won't need this script now, but it might be helpful for future installs..
