     @itsfoss I experienced a similar situation many years ago, when I installed 32 MiB of RAM to my desktop computer. Sadly, then came Mozilla (still not Firefox, but already departed from Netscape) and used all my RAM to load a couple of web pages. I had to look elsewhere until I could afford more RAM.

     @itsfoss My 16 GB are more than enough and, of not for a thing or two I habe tô compile every now and then, 8 GB would be fine.

     @itsfoss@mastodon.social If it's just Linux, no DE, no other apps, just TTY, true. Only consumes about 800MB in my case

     @itsfoss
     Yup. I have 16 GB, and one day I checked, after a couple of hours of use, my system was up to using a whopping 2 GB of RAM.

     Oh, but those remaining 14 GB is used for disk cache, right? Nope, that's 14 GB free memory, with an additional 1.4 GB (out of the 2 GB) used for disk cache.

     Meaning the running system was using something like 600 MB, including userspace, kernel, X, video ram (my system has shared video memory).
