I use a light weight window manager and its pretty common for my browser on its own to be above 8GB, if you end up with an electron app or two which are pretty common these days then its pretty easy to be hitting 16 already.

I find it hard to imagine any member of the SUSE Linux development team as a member of average mortal users. I normally have hundreds of browser tabs open among 4 or more different browsers and yet it's uncommon for total RAM consumption by apps to consume more than 1/3 of my 32GB of RAM. Most RAM consumption here the vast majority of the time is in cache. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.
