You are correct. Until just a few months ago my main machine for several years was a laptop with 4GB and before that was a desktop with 4GB. I got a used desktop with 16GB and I no longer need to be constantly concerned how many tabs are open or needing to close programs. With 16GB I never even need to look at ram usage
na, it's just a VM, i don't use windows as my main os, it just runs solidworks, i can allocate more ram to it if needed

that's just my second gpu, again, i'm only use that one for solidworks, so it doesn't need to be amazing
not that my host gpu is much better, since i don't play modern games

Still can't see host tech specs, oh well. In the end, you really do need more than 8gb

you didn't ask for host specs, the host has 32G of ram, my post was in response to a post which suggested you needed more than 8G of ram to have a job, and my post was light fun demonstrating my work using less than 8G of ram, plenty of jobs don't need as much as i'm using

Here is my regular ram usage
It's really just qemu eating everything up
Also I have no idea how to avoid the fact that my threads are always running somewhere ~10%
Do you like looking glass? I just plug into the second display port on the monitor, but I also consider the ease of access. Is there a loss with respect to latency? Is it noticeable?

i have the gpu connected to my main monitor as well, so i could instead press a button on the monitor to switch to it, but i like the convenience of having it in a window so i can use the monitor for something else in an instant
there's no latency difference that i can tell, and i'm the type of person who doesn't run a compositor because i despise input latency. it works using a shared memory segment between the vm and the host, so you can expect it to be way faster than something like vnc or steam in-home streaming

i also use looking glass (not for work, just for games) and it's good enough for my boomer reflexes. would recommend.

i wouldn't even use it for work purposes if i could feel a difference in mouse cursor response/latency, no way i would tolerate that while drawing for hours at a time, it's not a game, but it still requires a lot of clicking small points quickly

8GB RAM in 2011? What the frick, RAM was super cheap back then, I remember the first PC I bought myself had 16GB 1600.
also what the frick is it with this shithole, I'm supposed to wait 60 seconds for a fricking POST?
at this point they really should be paying me for posting here.
I got 16 GB for 20 bucks, I highly doubt RAM was that cheap in 2011.
It wasn't that cheap but I remember there was a time around 2009-2011 where 16GB of RAM were very affordable. At least the regular stuff, high end memory was a different story.
>tfw bigger ram on household PC is now the norm because devs don't know how to optimize their codes to run on lower end devices and blaming it on the hardware, not to mention the overuse of JS in modern web and modern web design that encouraged such practice.
if you have < 32 GB you are subhuman
True. Good thing I have 147(iq) GB RAM

I would not want to go back to 4GB
16 is too little in current year, give me 32 please
Nah, you're a jobless homosexual

I do
Less than 64 gb is not acceptable in this day and age.
96gb is the new sweet spot btw with those high quality 48gb sticks.
>doesnt have 512 GB of soldered ram
fricking commoner, have fun with your 2 chrome tabs
I have quit porn long time ago.
Sure, but I WANT to keep 100 browser tabs open

Your opinion doesn't magically become a fact because you believe in it strongly.
Yes, it does.
Oh look, the frog poster is proud of their ignorance.
thanks nick
No problem
Sure if you run no applications, why would you need more?
Preach it sister
font, WM, distro?
The distro is Alpine.
The WM is fluxbox.
The theme is WindowLab.
The terminal font is Fantasque Sans Mono.
The window title font is Ubuntu.
Unused ram is wasted ram.
I have 64GB and I don't even know why
unpurchased ram is wasted ram
ram is ram

It's 48GB of 2400MHz RAM.

I have 16 GB of ram and 32 GB of vram 🙂
my acer aspire with 8gb of ram does all the fricking work it needs to, unless you're a gaymer you don't need more than 8 to be productive
what if you need to calculate fibonacci(2000000)?
i have 4 times as much memory just for wsl
if you want to mess with machine learning you need a ton, and also gpu vram
That's because you don't do anything on your computer
>You don't NEED more than 4 GB. This is a fact.
I have 4 GB, and simply using KDE + firefox causes my system to start using Swap.
Never happened

Brain worms.

How fricking poor are you? Can you even buy 4GB sticks anymore? Jesus.
