<p>Martin,</p>
<p>It's an interesting article. Linux is definitely more efficient,
but of course, a lot of the applications are actually the same
these days across operating systems.</p>
<p>This is my Gnome 3.30 (or is it 3.32?) desktop with an average
amount of apps open.<br>

<p>It's definitely a problem of software not being developed to be
as memory tight as it used to be. I couldn't function with 16GB as
I was getting out of memory issues on large LibreOffice
spreadsheets and with some Java apps.<br>

For a change, here's a usefully informative article about "how much
memory" is a good fit for a PC.
How Much Memory Do You Need: 8, 16 or 32GB of RAM?
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/how-much-ram-memory,6092.html">https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/how-much-ram-memory,6092.html</a>
Note that 'special' uses or 'certain applications' can completely blow
those numbers away...
The article is obviously (bloated) Windows biased but covers the things
to consider. However, note that in the Linux world such as the humble
Raspberry Pi works perfectly well with just 512MBytes or 1GByte of RAM...
Hopefully of interest to some ;-)
Cheers,
Martin
