      So what’s been y’alls favorite flavor of Linux lately? I’ve been using Arch with KDE and it’s been a very nice change of pace.

      Truly spoken like someone that have become blind to the value of money for ordinary people, as well as the price development for RAM. I guess that’s what happens when RAM is just a another billion dollar expense in a long line of expenses for AI and datacenters.

      I upgraded my pc to 32gig of ram (and a new SSD) a few years ago when I was playing new world. It was the cheapest upgrade at the time to get better performance from my then 3yr old PC.

      And I’ll still fucking never ever upgrade to Windows 11, get fucked.

      Y’all know you can take 16GB of DDR4 and it’ll still work perfectly fine right?

      “Our sloppy operating system is so unoptimized, people should really get better hardware to power through it. The customers are wrong!”

      praise the lord my server is still on ddr3 and I got my 32gb ddr4 kit long before the prices went high as hell, still was expensive before that though, windows has dogshit trash memory management compared to its linux and macos counterparts, both I have used 16gb with and never even got close to maxing out ram. My one windows machine is 32gb because windows + steam game + chrome has maxed out my 16gb kit multiple times to the point of where it became annoying as hell.

      Is swap actually such a bad thing on windows ? With the actual development of nvme this would be an option. In Linux you even have zswap for an compressed RAM cache to free up RAM space.

      >“For most players, 16GB RAM is a practical starting point. Moving to 32GB RAM helps **if you run Discord, browsers, or streaming tools alongside your games**.“

      Given modern AAA games often already recommend 16GB in their system requirements, saying more „helps“ when streaming/multitasking isn’t particularly shocking. Made for a decent rage-bait headline though, I guess.

      Did any of you read the article?

      32GB if you are streaming and chatting via services to users.

      This isn’t, if you’re gaming on Windows you must have 32GB, but if you’re a content creator for gaming, 32GB is the ideal amount of memory.

      16GB has long been considered the ideal amount of memory for gaming, but that has been just gaming and with Microsoft cutting back the resources the OS needs while gaming. However, adding streaming on top of it with chatting services like Discord, that overheard requires additional memory. Reasonable.

      How about Microsoft works on getting folders to display their contents properly? You know, the most basic and primary operation an OS can perform, and that Windows can’t handle in 2026.

      I bought a laptop last year with 16gb ram. 25% of it goes to windows background stuff that i can’t seem to disable

      Sub has really turned into “hate Microsoft for everything” train but they didn’t even read the article. It even says that W11 still recommends only 8gb but Microsoft says you need 32Gb of RAM if you want to game **and multitask **b and they are not wrong. I’m like everyone and wish RAM wasn’t ludicrously over priced but let’s be honest most games now even at minimum settings need 16gb minimum and that’s for the game itself.

    25. JohnnyGFX on

      I built my system with 32gb and it’s been running games great on Win 11. Sorry, I just don’t hate it like some of you do, I guess.

    26. namezam on

      Must have sucked for an exec to sign off on that right after the Neo coming out with 8 and doing 95% of what people do without a hiccup.

      So running windows costs $500, RAM plus license. Hmmmmm, how much does it cost to run Linux and have a usable system?

    28. Haunting-Elevator736 on

      Fun fact for Microsoft. More can be done on less ram if the OS is less bloated and they make even a half ass attempt at optimizing shit.

    29. VitruvianVan on

      Checked my Amazon purchase history. In early 2023, I bought sticks of 16GB RAM for $40/each. The exact same stick is now $246.

      ftfy:

      Microsoft says 32GB of RAM is the “no-worries” upgrade for Windows 11 gaming for now.

    31. saucyspacefries on

      Sounds more like they need more ram for AI powered bs in consumer computers.

    32. earthwormjimjones on

      I do have 32GB of DDR5, however it’s only 5200mt/x. But I have a 9800X3D which I was told makes that lower speed not matter as much. I’m new and dumb at PC ownership however so I don’t know how true that is. All I know is everything works pretty fast and snappy and I’m happy with it 🤷‍♂️

    33. VVrayth on

      Oh yeah, no worries at all! That 32GB DDR5 RAM upgrade will only run you about

      # $435 right now

    34. Saneless on

      I mean, if you want to upgrade these days you might have to worry about bills and staying alive
