  Most people still browse bloated websites, doesn’t matter what OS you’re using 8GB is going to be tight.

    As a web developer… what?? If your website needs 8GB on the client to run there are serious, deeply ingrained problems with your front end. I recent scoffed at coworkers who wanted 8GB to just one instance of the web server.

      8GB wouldn’t be one site, but between the OS & a couple of bloated sites 8GB is easy to hit.

        Exactly. I am not a heavy user but occasionally I need to multitask a bit. I upgraded from 16 gb to 32 gb a while back because with 4 open workspaces, a browser in each one plus an email client, signal, a couple libreoffice apps open, and my notes app, it was having to use enough swap space that I noticed the performance hit. A small number of very light users might be ok with 8gb, but most will likely have issues.

        the OS

        Windows maybe? I’ve been using macOS (UNIX), FreeBSD (UNIX) and Linux for the past 20+ years.
