    Yeah seriously, why is this even a discussion. 32GB is the bare minimum acceptable these days, regardless of which desktop OS you're using.

    All three of my PCs running Linux have 16GB in them. Never run out of RAM.

    People run Linux with full plasma desktop with like 8 gb ram. It's the browser that eats up several gb from that, not the desktop. Desktop alone is probably 4 gb max.

    But sure, depending on what else you run, you want more memory. But if windows recommends 32 gb just to run the system, that's crazy.

    I guess I’ve been living in lala land or something because I’ve been perfectly happy with half of that.
