I think i'm ok with it on the Air but went with 16GB for my desktop.
On the Air right now I have 20+ apps open (Firefox, Brave, Chrome, Safari, Slack, Signal, WhatsApp, Microsoft Todo, Excel (4 sheets open), Mail, Calendar, VS Code (2 projects open), iTerm (8 tabs), Postico, Datagrip, Contacts, Messenger, Spotify, Calibre, Docker for Mac (4 containers running)
Memory used is 6.47GB of 8GB physical, cached filed 1.2GB, swap used 8.15GB
It's running more than fine.
It's why I don't think you can compare with other systems in terms of RAM capacity - there is no way I would get away with what I have open now on an 8GB machine running Ubuntu desktop
