Yes. Just as 4GB was barely enough a decade ago.

I usually find myself either capping out the 8GB of RAM on my laptop, or getting close to it if I have Firefox, Discord and a word processor open. Especially if I have Youtube or Spotify going.

I can get over 8 GB just running Discord, Steam, Shapes2

I am pretty sure most of that is just discord.

Imagine how much more room we’d have if everything wasn’t dragging a big trailer full of Chrome behind it.

I’m pretty sure Chrome doesn’t even use the memory for anything it just likes it allocated.

Most of that is discord, they can’t manage a single good thing right Use more GPU than the game I’m playing? Check. Have an inefficient method of streaming a game? Check. Be laggy as fuck when no longer on GPU acceleration when lemmy and guilded is fine? Check.

RAM is cheaper than my time.
I kinda consider 32GB as a minimum for anyone working on my team.
