Microsoft just deleted Windows 11's 32GB RAM recommendation docs, as prices soar and it rushes to sell 8GB RAM PCs (www.windowslatest.com)

People run Linux with full plasma desktop with like 8 gb ram. It's the browser that eats up several gb from that, not the desktop. Desktop alone is probably 4 gb max.

But sure, depending on what else you run, you want more memory. But if windows recommends 32 gb just to run the system, that's crazy.
