Comment on Maybe the RAM shortage will make software less bloated?

Do people really use that much Ram with normal use? Like I rarely even fill my 16gb, even with gaming, etc. I mean I just don’t leave 16 tabs open in a browser because that feels really disorganized. And I turn my computer off every night and start fresh every day

Yes. 16GB is the bare minimum for regular usage on Windows. On Linux, it is a minimum for “regular to advanced” usage (i.e. more than 5 more complex programs open, Flatpak, Electron apps)

Recommended minimum for Win 11 is 4 GB.
The system does not need to use RAM to run multiple programs, it can use secondary memory.

Oh. See I don’t use a lot of web apps or electron. No streaming/cloud services.
