I use a shit load of RAM on Linux. You guys clearly have amateur numbers when it comes to how many applications you have open at once.
And hitting high memory pressure is really not fun on Linux (on Fedora at least), it simply locks up and slows down to a crawl and does nothing for minutes until the oom killer finally kills the bad program. I've kind of solvd this by installing a better oom killer on my laptop, but my desktop was easy: buy 32GB of additional ram for like 90$: problem solved
I like to have a 50GB+ swap file. Though Fedora is a bit weird with swap files as by default it's stored in RAM (Yes, extra space for RAM is stored in RAM. I... admit I don't understand the detail).
Hmm, it's been a few years since I've run Fedora, but that's an experience also still stuck in my head from that time.
I always figured, Linux had just gotten better at that, because I switched to a more up-to-date distro afterwards, but in retrospect, it's not like Fedora is terribly out of date, so maybe that is just a weird configuration on Fedora...
Itโs not hard to max out when doing simulations in Blender, but I know I have a niche use case.
Multiple Firefox windows, at least one JetBrains IDE, and some other apps and I fill 20-30GBs easily. Sometimes on the lower end, sometimes on the higher end.
Multiple Firefox windows? I'm not that civilised, I just have 100+ tabs in the one window.
