Microsoft now recommends 32 GB RAM for gaming PCs, designating 16 GB as the baseline, and urges the use of SSDs for optimal performance.

    I was kind of humbled to see how much less ressources Debian was using.
    It needed one GB of memory after install in full memory.

    Meanwhile Canonical

      I run Debian on 6GBs. Before that, Windows 10 was close to unusable, but in all fairness I had it on an HDD while Debian is running off a by now two years old SSD.

      While Ubuntu recommends 6GB, it still uses much less than that even if you open Chrome lol

      If you enable zswap, you could probably live with 4GB
