My unpopular opinion: free ram is useless ram. Go on, OS. Put evertyhing into ram. I have 64GB of it. Fill it the fuck up. I want to be able to open things blazingly fast, that’s why its there. The trick is leaving enough so new things can fit without waiting for cleanup. And windows isn’t bad at scaling its usage. Afaik, wIndows installation on 8GB will use less than the same installation when 16GB is available.
If you had unlimited ram, you’d be mad the OS was wasting time cleaning up behind itself.
It’s not unpopular but only half right. Free RAM already gets used for caching, invisible to you. What you see in the task manager is reserved RAM and that one can’t be used by other applications. If all RAM is reserved, you get pagination or the OOMkiller.
32 gigs is quite a bit of a show off in these trying times…
dump a pregant cow next to the kitten labeled “Chromium”
I see you don’t run electron app in flatpaks :)
haha. I have 32GB of RAM in my server, and even though I run a LOT of stuff, it rarely gets past 6 or 7GB used
I cried today b/c although I knew my mistake, I accidentally sat upon my balls just as I was sitting down to sort through my missteps & reinstall w/ a refreshed and more educated approach. Karma was doing its thing with me today. I hope that I am paying it forward because I can’t honestly think of any hurt I may have caused to warrant such a thing upon me. Now, I don’t know why I’m crying. Probably seen enough trailers for that new E.T. Movie w/ Jared Goff.
Don’t forget to allocate the rest to Firefox, and your swap as well since that’s still not enough
You can still use Chrome in Linux (my wife uses them together on her laptop).
I see what you did there.
elon musk inherited an emerald minefrom his father, but your child will inherit 32 full gigabytes of ram
Bold of u to assume any of us can afford kids in the first place lol. Well, at least if u wanna raise them properly.
all that ram is for my many virtual machines i planned to run and never did because i didn’t actually get any practical use out of them
Containerize everything
Unfortunately I can’t run windows 7 in a docker container for the lickable aero theme and nostalgia. The KDE aero themes just don’t feel the same either. Lots of subtle things missing.
Actually…
holy shit
wait a minute this docker container is just running qemu and a web-based vnc client >:/
There’s still time.

Sitting on a cool 64, over here.
Why are you crying, Windows user?
Same reason as everyone else who waited to upgrade.
Laughs in one year old 128GB RAM on fedora Linux.
Running AI locally?
Nope. Running a windows guest for legacy development (50GB for few bigger visual studio projects and other related apps) then Rider, Android Studio, IntelliJ, podman and other apps native on Linux, often switching between them. 128GB is a bit much even for this, but it is never bad to have same free space just in case. The only downside is that I bought 4 DDR5 modules only to later find out that they put a break on speed as AMD really prefers 2 of them.
50 GB in memory for a visual studio/programming project being a bigger project seems like rather an understatement, unless you’re working on machine learning, simulations, or something of that nature.
That’s a bit small… for disk space 😂😂😂😂😂
You can actually do a lot of stuff with this and no disk at all , just having a 500MB NFS over nas or some 2010 old laptop 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
