I have no idea how people use so much RAM. I use a 16 GB machine for work and it runs perfectly. For the majority of the time I'm well below 8GB. And I do use Electron apps.

Of course, I'm aware of the possible uses demanding more than 16 GB but I can't believe this would be the case for a majority of the people.

I keep tabs open just in case I need it later, definitely faster to try to find right tab across 4 windows with 20 tabs each than just opening the site when I need it again

Yeah, but those shouldn't really influence memory usage too much unless actively used, right? I'm pretty sure browsers unload unused tabs from memory.

I myself sometimes use quite a lot of tabs, although I have to admit it's definitely not close to 80 tabs open at all times.

Some bad browsers don't have automatic tab hibernation and you gotta install extensions for it.

    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
