Don’t forget that Linux isn’t isn’t nearly as aggressive as Android in killing background processes, which means RAM is far more likely to stay hanging, and you probably don’t want to be swapping on the eMMC.
fair, but we’re still talking about 32 frigging GB of ram in a phone. not that it should count as a best practice baseline but apple sells 16gb laptops as the entry point and tbf at the moment its just enough and their performance is sitting in a completly different league
lmao. so you cant give me reason and just post some memes instead. fair enough. idgf. its a cool device. having 32gb of RAM is fucking rad on a phone. but its stupid. its an inbalenced configuration with that weak ass soc. that was my whole point. but you couldnt even prove your point on an academic level.
so, running 50+ instances of different programs at the same time is your argument why a phone needs 32gigs of ram. thanks for the discussion dear internet person. especially after i stated several hours ago there might be edge cases.
What are you even talking about? 16GB is plenty for most people’s laptop use cases. What was criminal was when the default was 8GB, but they seem to have stopped that now. In saying that, the pre-built Framework 12 starts at 8GB, though that’s a lot less criminal when it’s not soldered on.
ram can be used to heavily compensate for slow read speeds and can make slow memory leaks less of an issue, also with that much you probably don’t need a swap file/partition.

Apple selling 16GB laptops is something anyone in the know regards as essentially criminal.
it is. i firmly state: fuck apple. now give me a single reason why an underpowered linux device needs 32gb.

This isn’t some meme, it’s a screenshot from my computer.

I have 67 tabs open in Firefox at this moment and maybe I don’t want them to reload when I come back to them from Lemmy
This is a single program.
Thanks for dismissing other people’s experience that don’t match yours, you’re a real one.
