@sigmasternchen I thought 16GB would be just fine for me as well, but because of the question above, I checked out the output of `free` and I notice it has a swap of 12GB so I should probably upgrade. 😁
@nixCraft Desktop: 24/64GB
Laptop: 16/32GB
At least my personal computer are more powerfull than professional one 
@nixCraft 6 cores (Ryzen 5600X), 16 GB memory.
It was fine until recently when ran out of memory while when I tried running one of the larger LLMs on my machine. Might get another 16 GB stick for a total of 32 GB.
@nixCraft Desktop: 8(no ht)/64
Laptop: 16/32
Even though desktop is much older, bonus RAM comes in handy sometimes and the cooling is much better so it feels much faster than the laptop which gets throttled easily.
@nixCraft 16 Cores, 64GB RAM. Very happy with that. Compiles wine in under 5 minutes and the Linux kernel in under 3. Maybe I’ll give gentoo a chance at the end of the year.
(But it was so incredibly expensive, this computer needs to live for a long, long time.)
@nixCraft Old dev system: dual 12c/24T xeon so totalling 48 threads.
Replacing it with some Ryzen7 microPC's which are 16 thread 32G ram - mainly as they max out at 20W each, so cheaper to run than the old xeon system.
@nixCraft 16 cores and a mere 16GB of RAM
It works great, most of the time, though sometimes it still gets sluggish while I'm compiling and building software I am working on, I guess it's using the swapfile, and I should actually put about 32GB in it /at least/.
But for the majority of the time I am quite happy.
> How many CPU cores (including threads ) and RAM are in your PERSONAL system?
Not enough.
> Are you happy with that?
Never will be. Using Gentoo ;-;
8/16 - who need's more?
Just don't use software which burns CPU and RAM for senseless things...
@nixCraft 6 cores, 12 threads, 32 Gigs of RAM. At least my desktop.
My laptop is a 4 core, 8 threads machine. Capable enough for on the road things right now.
@nixCraft 4c/8t and 16GB (Minisforum UM350). It's my browsing/email/video playing machine.
If I want more cores/memory I use my proxmox box.
@nixCraft 8-core Ryzen 3700X -> 16 threads. 32GB. Radeon RX 6750 XT.
Everything I throw at it runs smoothly in 1080p and compilation of anything doesn't take ages.
Happy.
