I’ve got 128Gb in my 20c/40t system, and 256Gb in my 44c/88t system.
But then again, I don’t game. I do a lot of data crunching, and let other apps like BOINC do their own thing when I’m not actively working.
This is about correct. 8 you would have to make it a point to run one thing at a time.

I’ve never stopped using my 1080 thing is a tank that works fine for like 95% of what I do. I’m a game dev lol. Now I will say that I can’t perceive fps faster than about 45 and that’s just for fast moving stuff so I cap most games I play to 30fps, and I’ve finally hit the age where I need bigger font and I usually do that by lowering game resolution
If you like <60FPS. Fine with me.
But don’t force/assume your opinion on others.I’m sorry that the above opinion was forced upon you, that must be terrible.
Been that way for awhile but I imagine the ram shortage is going to lower it to 8.
Not at these prices it ain’t. Back to 8 it is.
Why not Linux?
Linux at home yes. But corporate has insisted the price increases dont matter at my work as my bonus is engulfed.
I still remember that the first time in my life I gave any thought to RAM is when my childhood PC was upgraded from 1GB to 3GB.
I don’t do radically different things on the computer nowadays than I did back then, yet that would nowadays be unusable.
Slop code and CSS kids need that space!
Linux says “Hold my beer…” https://youtu.be/LJEo6Kb6Rhg
Been using CachyOS the past while on my gaming laptop, it’s stupid how much better it is with zero extra steps other than basic install. Can’t recommend it enough.
Wow. Not too transparent are they? RAM prices go up worldwide. Microsoft - “We need you to buy more RAM to successfully run are mostly unnecessary, bloated crap”.
That’s 350€ for ram
Meanwhile i have a linux server that’s currently running individual LXC containers for hosting
Snipe-it, zammad, paperlessNGX, wiki.js, rustdesk server, firefly III, flare, among a few other things. And it’s barely using 6GB total. Less than windows sitting at desktop these days. It’s pathetic how bad windows has become.
I have 32 GB RAM in my linux box. Not because I need it (I use 5,7GB currently), but because it was kind of cheap when I build the box. 16 GB or 32 GB were just a few Euros apart.
But with the current RAM crisis? Holy crap, that is kind of a tone deaf statement
Same here, but I put in 64GB because it was cheap. The only app I used (I don’t anymore) that would make use of that much was Photoshop, back when I was still a graphic designer. Even then, I didn’t need it, but it was nice to have.
Im running Void on a 2013, dual core atom, netbook with 1800MB of ram, THAT is a compromise. No more than 4-5 tabs at a time, only one if I want to watch a video, but it works.
16GB being the minimum for a desktop OS is insane.
My home server is a 2014 Mac mini with 8gb of soldered RAM. Even with that much, I can’t really use even LibreWolf if I want to stand any chance of the services I have installed having any RAM.
God damn I brought an old atom back to life with the leanest distro I could run just a month ago. 1gb ram. It is an absolute paperweight.
The atom processors were garbage when they came out. I hate e waste as much as the next person but that’s a level of masochism I will not subject myself to. Pull the salvageables and refine the rest into a pawn shop puddle.
I suspect part of it is modern web browsers and everything being online. That and “web apps” and such that take up WAY to much resources for what they do. In the name of security and justifiably so, each tab typically has it’s own thread/task which means more memory. They will free up as needed, but don’t do well always. With so many people just keeping tabs open rather than bookmarking them, users have also changed how they use their computers. So 16GB being a minimum and 32GB being recommended seems reasonable for a NEW computer. Remember, software is just going to need more resources in the future.
Existing computers will be fine for a while longer, but will get to that “compromised” state eventually.
Holy false equivalency, Batman
Void is a full featured desktop OS, it can run a browser, play games, watch videos, and run an office suite. All of those applications have their own hardware requirements but the OS is just the layer between the things you want to do and the hardware you are using. It should be as light as possible and Void shows that it is possible to be very light.
I mean that’s fair, but everyone was bragging about how their 640kb in UMB was plenty to play doom. I was more curious what it would take to play like Cyberpunk or something
Are we back in 2021?
In the middle of a RAM pricing crisis? Fuck off microslop.
A RAM pricing crisis they created through OPENAI, no less.
