  Debian keeps barfing on me with 16.

    Heh, I have 64 and still can run out. Teams and Outlook for work, one or two java projects in IntelliJ, rust project in Neovim… try to build and run tests with maven and I’m at 70-80% easily. Couple more tabs like discord and I’m out of memory.

      I feel that. My new workstation will have 128 GB, I’m very excited about it

    What sort of apps are you running?

      Mostly Firefox with an admittedly ridiculous number of tabs.

        Those are load bearing tabs…

        Get yourself the ‘auto discard tabs’ extension.

        Tbf Firefox seems to have started using much more memory a year or so ago: I could easily hit over 200 tabs, now fifty are a problem. Though it could just be me having switched to the developer edition.

        I think my last count hit north of 500 tabs…

        I… I may have a bit of a problem…
