    I agree, funny enough they require minimum 4 GB, but I had problems with it with 16 GB. 8 GB is nowhere near enough, especially if you use excel, teams, and that crap.

      I have to use windows at work, have 32gb and regularly get browser tabs unloaded for low memory. I’m not running VMs or anything. Usually just Firefox, visual studio, and slack.

      Personal computer is Linux with 16gb and that’s more than enough.

      Most bloated apps like outlook and teams etc regularly use nearly a gig of ram each in my experience. Brutal.
