    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.

      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.

      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.
