Tried that. There's still a limit on top of that.

  That limit is 32 GiB. Hard to call it "fairly low". If you encountered a lower limit then it's something you can tune in login.conf.

    Depends on what you do; I routinely use double that, and for me even my 64GB starts to be limiting.

      Eight gigs was the least amount of memory I could buy this laptop with, and I'm using... 237M even with a few amfora and w3m running. Compiles will take more, but I stopped compiling horrible things like Firefox or Chromium years ago.

    32gb seems pretty low? pretty routine in a lot of different domains to have processes using 10s/100s of gbs
    • daneel_w 4y ago
      It's not pretty low, or objectively low, but it can be considered relatively low. The average amount of RAM in desktops and laptops is still <32 GiB. From this perspective it's a very high limit.

        Many servers have over 32 GiB of RAM.

          Get outta here, man. No way.
          • seanw444 4y ago
            I routinely work with one with 256 GiB of RAM.

              And you use that one to run minecraft servers. Riiiight.
              • seanw444 4y ago
                I didn't say that?
            • nequo 4y ago
              Parent was being sarcastic. It kind of makes sense to expect 32 GB to fit every process on a desktop. But is that the main use case of OpenBSD? It would seem that the main use case would lean towards servers instead?
