[Nottingham] How Much Memory Do You Need: 8, 16 or 32GB of RAM?

[Daryl Dudey]

Martin,

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.

This is my Gnome 3.30 (or is it 3.32?) desktop with an average amount of 
apps open.

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.

Daryl.
