Thankfully Linux people don't seem to have that attitude. Even the big bells-and-whistles desktop environment will run comfortably on 4GB.

@usul while Vel wasn't alive 20 years ago, it's quite certain that low end devices were not using 1920x1080@60 24-bit displays. triple-buffering wasn't used, since there were no fancy smooth animations, etc

using more RAM is often for the purposes of speeding things up and ultimately reducing the load on the CPU/GPU/disk.

As someone who is very much enjoying his new 3840×2160 screen, it's because I can see *everything* on this huge damn screen. I love it so much.

Now if apps could go ahead and stop wasting space on unnecessary padding, that'd be great. I'm using a desktop with a mouse, not a phone!

Although I do have a touchscreen laptop, so… 🤷‍♂️
