> many people in this thread are saying average users are just using their web browser, so they are “served fine with linux”. But apparently 8GB is unacceptable to run a web browser on mac os.

"It's fine to run out of ram and start swapping because the SSD is fast." Wearing out the soldered SSD isn't fine.
