   16 GB at the minimum, if you ask me.

     @itsfoss I started with 512 KB, now I use 4 machines. They contain 4, 8, 16 and 64 GB of RAM respectively. It varies depending on your operating system, needs and hardware.

     @itsfoss I thought 640k is all I’d ever need. That’s what we’ve been told all these years.

     @itsfoss for windows without gaming 16 gb of ram is okay-ish, 32 gb when it comes to gaming, for linux either works fine but stil the more ram the better if playing with virtual machines for example

     @itsfoss As always "depends on the use case" but 16 should be minimum for usual stuff

     @bogdanmarius_ursan True, but for gaming with what I have been seeing, 16 GB is just about fine for now.

     A few years down the line, and 16 GB will start becoming an issue for new AAA titles.

     @itsfoss 16 is fine for most but as a tab hoarder, gamer and programmer give me 32-64 and I'm happy 😊 🤣

     @kaosine Oh, Cities can be a memory hog even without mods. I have noticed that whenever a city crosses the 50K pop mark.

     @itsfoss I blame cities skylines and the like...add any add-ons and oops there goes my ram. Also idk where tf most of my tabs come from. I close so many every day only to find duplicates every where as if Firefox isn't doing its job of letting me know there is a duplicate 🙃

     @itsfoss Once I started using 16 GBs, switching back to other systems with less RAM has become quite painful, specially given the fact that I've gotten used to opening dozens of browser tabs and have a lot of RAM-intensive programs running.
