What kind of comparison is that 8 to 64. 8 GB for windows also sucks as well or Linux (save with tiling manager), software just bloats over time.
Imo 8gb is not enough as baseline, today's 8gb is 16.
I remember 4GB being good in 2015.
- rrrix1 3y ago4gb was good in 2005. 16gb was good in 2015. Personally I won't use a computer (as a daily driver) without 64gb of RAM today. Everything eats memory like it's going out of style.
- ge96 3y agoYeah it depends what you use it for ofc. At that time I was just working on LAMP stuff with Kate or Bluefish as my editor on Linux Mint ha. I like leaving computers running for months (sleep at night) with a bunch of (context grouped) virtual windows the issue is when the OS resumes (windows or Mac) the stuff shifts around it's annoying (multi monitor).

- lost_tourist 3y agomehhhhh you don't need a tiling window manager; lxde, lxqt, xfce are all fine "regular" window managers for low memory machines as long as you don't load a bunch of garbage that you don't have to have.
