I went to a pc building shop and the price of 64 RAM DDR5 was over $1000. I could have built an entire PC with that price a year ago.

Not a hardware fix, but there’s memory compression. It sounds like Windows 11 defaults to having memory compression on:

Linux has zswap and zram to do memory compression, which I’ve mentioned here recently. I don’t know of any distros that turn it on by default. It sounds from recent reading like for modern systems with SSD swap, zswap is probably preferable to zram.
As far as I know, Fedora turns it on, but only for a percentage of the memory since the performance hit is only slightly better than using swap.
Ah, thanks. Looks like they enabled zram in Fedora 33:
