I have 32 gigs and Windows 10 doesn’t actually use too much RAM. Around 4 GB, but still quite a lot. Still nothing to how much free RAM I have though.
Laughs in one year old 128GB RAM on fedora Linux.
Running AI locally?
The way it should be. If it were Windows you’d have a massive bloated fat cat that can’t breathe taking up almost the entire sofa.
just wait until you need to edit some xml in android studio
The rest of the couch is my podman services
elon musk inherited an emerald minefrom his father, but your child will inherit 32 full gigabytes of ram
if the cat was a windows 11 system he’d be so big he consumed the entire couch
all that ram is for my many virtual machines i planned to run and never did because i didn’t actually get any practical use out of them
Containerize everything
Unfortunately I can’t run windows 7 in a docker container for the lickable aero theme and nostalgia. The KDE aero themes just don’t feel the same either. Lots of subtle things missing.
Actually…
holy shit
There’s still time.
And here I am with a budget 12 GB RAM phone, that will turn out to be flagship tier due to the RAM crisis. Holy fuck.
We were so spoiled, we didn’t even know what we had.
Meanwhile, the latest macOS update took away 20% of my battery life and added 15% of ram usage, just because, while the battery life of my Linux laptop is actually getting better with updates.
Between Firefox being its usual self and the 11.5gb of VRAM and GTT kwin_wayland is currently using, 32gb does not feel excessive.
IntelliJ has entered the chat.
Now launch one (1) web browser and watch an elephant drop on your sofa.
The OS is no longer relevant to memory usage, really, not in the way it used to be. The amount of memory required for a usable desktop is peanuts compared to the amount required to run a few web-apps.
One of the many reasons why we need a new and better browser without all the bloat.
That’s half the problem, the sites are the other.
And the third half is bad math
The fourth half is caching
The fifth is your mom.
I am skeptical that the browser is the problem.
Well, no, but the amount of browser-based apps due to their convinience in development is stupid.
Now add a German Shepherd labelled “Firefox” 😝
Mine is feral. I was going to go with “Libre.”
