a chat program and a music program just started up, not doing anything but idling, nowadays use 500 MiB each. 2 GiB is not enough any more because everyone writes their apps in dom now, because it seems to be the only toolkit with vaguely viable, non-sucky state management libraries, and it just isn't efficient enough. this isn't intrinsic tho (and then yesterday i just tried windows 7 for the first time in a vm with 2 GiB allocated, and it was far snappier than i could have imagined).
