I'm using 18GB on Pop_OS right now and often use more. The main contributors are browser tabs and VS Code. If I closed out the projects I'm not actively working on right now and hunted down anything hogging RAM, I could get back under 16GB, but the nice thing about having 32GB is I almost never have to do that.

I'm pretty sure browsers automatically expand their in-memory cache to fill the available space, things would probably work with less.

I mean, you're probably right to an extent, but I did actually have to close stuff periodically on my old laptop with 16GB of RAM.
