According to [1], it takes 16GB of RAM and ~180GB of disk space. Most people have that much. It does take several hours without a many-core machine though.
Building Linux takes much less.

- do_not_redeem 2y agoI would bet overall most people have those 4GB RAM, 32GB eMMC laptops from walmart, etc. If you limit things to developers/gamers/enthusiasts, you'd probably be right.
- oblio 2y agoThose laptops kind of died up to a point, whoever can use an smartphone or tablet used those instead.
