I have to use windows at work, have 32gb and regularly get browser tabs unloaded for low memory. I'm not running VMs or anything. Usually just Firefox, visual studio, and slack.
Personal computer is Linux with 16gb and that's more than enough.
I have 64gb 32 for vm and 32 for host, security software eats it all. I pity the poor bastards on the 8gb work laptops. My project is funded separately from all the others so we got to order our own laptops. Our previous laptops sucked at 32gb total.
