If you don't play game,I see no reason to need more than 8GB of RAM. My computer is running very quickly with 8GB, even if I am photo editing on one screen while watching videos on the second, with a few softwares and even a VM opened in the background.

But I don't use Windows.

I have a tablet with 8GB RAM... it feels constrained even though I'm running Mint Xfce with an idle memory usage of ~550MB. You may have grown used to the performance limitations.

Things open instantly when I click, it can't get snappier. And I use GNOME, which isn't the lighter solution.
