Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Requires More RAM Than Windows 11?

Canonical has raised the minimum RAM requirement to 6 GB, while Windows 11 still sits at 4 GB. But that's only a number and it doesn't tell the real story.

It's FOSS
@itsfoss honestly it's the Windows figure that seems divorced from reality. My work PC hovers at 9 GB used before I even open an app. Add to that the 1.5 GB reserved by the onboard GPU and I quickly hit virtual memory by opening the mandatory electron apps.
