Got my tax return and am upgrading the ram in my PC from 8GB to 24GB. Can't wait to run even more tabs in Chrome!

    Or just switch browsers because chrome is shit and spyware anyway

    What do you need 24 focken gigs of ram for? Some high res video editing? Asking, since for coding you need like a gig tops.

    @dontPanic really depends on his text editor preference. My vscode uses almost a gig of ram lol, that's why I switched to vim

    Windows and Chrome will find a way to hinder you. I have had 2 gigs, 4, 8 and now 16.

    I swear Chrome and Windows just take the same percentage of any RAM

    @dontPanic My Laptop has 32 GB and I really need it.

    A) For some Cross-Platform projects I have a Windows 10 VM with Visual Studio and some debugging tools like Dr.Memory.

    B) For another project I have three VMs with different musl-libc based profiles. Personally I prefer glibc, but supporting musl has some real benefits.

    C) I am a Gentooer. And with 32GB I am not fucked if, during an update, GtkWebkit or QtWebengine are built while I am working with any of the VMs running.

    D) RAM is never useless and will always be filled with buffers and caches. Even on a full SSD system you'll feel having more RAM.

    As my CTO regularly says:
    "RAM is quality of life!"

    This much for just +1 tab.

    @xugS6fz6A7P8cL5 you switched to vim from VSCode because of its ram usage? Are you coding on a raspberry pi zero?
