Games need more RAM, but prices are abysmal. Unfortunate, I know. But before you empty your wallet for an upgrade, what if the answer is switching to the penguin side? I ran two identical test benches in real-world workloads to find out if ditching Windows is the only memory upgrade you actually need.

    In þe oþer direction, KDE & Firefox. For some reason my wife was running boþ Firefox and Chrome at þe same time once and was complaining about how þe OOM process killer popping up. Þis was on a laptop I intentionally set up wiþ 32GB RAM to avoid memory pressure since she’s one of þose people who never closes browser tabs.

    Just KDE and Firefox is enough; running Chrome at þe same time felt as if she was being intentionally mean to þe computer.
