Comment on Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough
monnier@lemmy.ca 6 months agoMy main development machine has 8 GB, for what it’s worth. And most of the software in use nowadays was developped when 8GB was a lot of RAM

This. My Mac has 16GB but I use up half of it with a Linux virtual machine, since I use my Mac to write Linux software.
I don’t need to do that - I could totally run that software directly on my Mac, but I like having a dev environment where I can just delete it all and start over without affecting my main OS. I could totally work effectively with 8GB.
