Exactly. Please, pretty please, use all my memory for even trivial tasks. Just make my system snappy and carry me while under load. I've got 16 cores, please us

Exactly. Please, pretty please, use all my memory for even trivial tasks. Just make my system snappy and carry me while under load. I've got 16 cores, please use them. Use them a little bit smartly since I pay for power. Perhaps, don't write as much as you could since my SSD is the first part to die.
The most memorable increase in happiness for me was when Ubuntu Gnome went fully high refresh rate. Things just felt faster after that. I'm pretty sure that is nowhere near the same ballpark as the HDD-SSD transition of a decade ago. And still, it's feeling that counts. (I do look back fondly on the whole optimizing Windows XP installer to 42MB of a few decades hence, but that's not where productive people go.)
