I always thought 8gb was a fine amount for daily use if you never did anything too heavy, are apps really that ram intense now?

[–] Sethayy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Heavily depends on what you use, on a Linux server as a NAS I'm able to get away with 2gb, an orange pi zero 3 1gb but it essentially only ever ones one app at a time.

Im sure a hardcore rgb gamer could need 32gb pretty quick by leaving open twitch streams, discord, a couple games in the background, a couple chrome tabs open all on windows 11
