for most people 16gb is currently fine, and up until a few years ago that was 8gb.. gaming, browsing, whatever really. time marches on..

but if you start to use your machine like a workstation all bets are off :) running multiple VMs, running AI locally, probably video editing, and also video game streaming is eking it's way into this category.

using Stable Diffusion here i'll sometimes see 27GB or so conventional ram, and it chews up 16GB of VRAM like it's nothing.

apparently this is what SDXL thinks DM looks like with some new Sync merch:

Oh,I don't run that stuff. Maybe a VM every now and then, but ONLY to buil
software for a diferent architecture, or perhaps occasionally test something.
It's quite rare.

Most of the time I'm running Mutt, or some CLI program, Brave would be the most
'heavy' program I run, occasionally Spotify which is bloated. So for me 8G is
enough.

good thing about brave is it blocks youtube ads. now it's difficult on regular browsers to defeat their ads.

I have found Clipious (through Invidious instances) to be quite ok. It is sanerthan using a browser when it works. I think Google is removing them from searchresults :-)
