      Idk, twenty twenty-something. But Chromium with the YouTube homepage takes less RAM than GNOME Software and GNOME Shell, which either says I should move to Xfce or that Chromium has improved. Can’t speak on VS Code though since I run that in a distrobox and podman is broken for me rn.

      The year where a browser can easily eat up 10GB of RAM.

      On my Mac mini with 8GB, just having Visual Studio Code open is enough to fill up the RAM. No other programs necessary.

          I just use it for building and deploying to macOS/iOS. I don’t want to spend four digit prices just for that (I’m a freelancer).

          The new MacBook Pro Apple just released a few days ago comes with 8GB in the lower two tiers.

        It’s 2024. 32GB is a min requirement. I roll with 128GB because it’s a couple hundred bucks to never have to worry about RAM.
