Ok Mr grumpy

Yeah and if you’d use Linux your work laptop would be sitting at like 6gb, if you’d just browse the web and edit text documents.

The only time I ever need more than 10 gigs on my main machine is when I play games. Windows and Linux aren’t even close in normal use cases.

You can even try it yourself, grab yourself a 10 year old laptop and install any Linux distro on it, it will feel like a new machine.

Linux? Depending on the distro, ram usage is a joke. Got a rpi and a NUC running Debian as a server (so without running the display environment constantly) and the use ~ 500-800mb ram. With a DE, they need like 1-1.2gigs.

The nuc is particularly funny since it hosts 2 Nextcloud instances, 2 websites and a qwen3 embedding model and sits at ~ 6gb ram.
