Why do you need so much RAM, for browsing, gaming, or is it your operating system that uses so much?
Browsing and gaming. Discord and Spotify are always open and I've noticed almost every update they use another 30-40MB. Not much but discord literally went from using 150ish MB to 400-500MB on first start up. After a couple hours of being open it'll use up to 2GB of RAM. Software is getting worse and worse with memory management and games are getting ridiculous too
Why not close what you're not using right now? If you have a bunch of things open, then of course you'll be using RAM a lot.
