Out of curiosity, how much RAM do you have on your MacBook to run containers?

How much RAM do you want to give the containers on your MacBook?

I'm being facetious, but it's an unanswerable question.

However much you set on the slider, so not quite so unanswerable.

I mean the person I replied to asked the unanswerable question. How can we say how much memory they need in their computer 'for containers' without knowing where they want to set those sliders (and how many of them there are), and then it's not really worth asking, or it would be a question about runtime overhead or something.
