Just wait. In 10 years 32 gig is on the low side to just run the OS. Hardware getest faster and bigger, but software scales with it.
The more resources are available, the more people will program computers to use them.
My first graphics card had 128mb memory. These days it goes in gigabyte and they use the memory and processing power to produce amazing things.
On the other hand, they also are not as critical on efficiëncy as used to be, because there are simply more resources available anyway. As a consequence, some programs use a silly amount of resources for basically doing nothing. Sometimes I really feel like my browser is eating RAM…

After boot, I’m using 2GB. I haven’t noticed Linux doing the ram-hog thing like Windows at all. But Firefox is currently using 8GB.
Just restarted Firefox and it’s using 2.5GB now. I think it stores a lot in ram from video.
unused RAM is wasted RAM
Average web developer principle
That means you should waste and occupy as much as possible? Lol.
I think less of anyone who treats ‘sayings’ like that as absolute fact. Small minds.
How? After booting(and starting DE) I’m using about 700 megs.
My DE is Gnome which uses a bit. Haven’t really looked into it further, because I still have 62GB of ram free after startx. Haven’t maxed it out yet.
I remember when system memory was measured in KB…
Fuck, I’m old.
Yeah, that day when you got your first whole MB of RAM… I remember mine was on SIPP chips.
I have a machine with 1gb of ram. I can browse the web and everything
