4gb was good in 2005. 16gb was good in 2015.

Personally I won't use a computer (as a daily driver) without 64gb of RAM today. Everything eats memory like it's going out of style.

Yeah it depends what you use it for ofc. At that time I was just working on LAMP stuff with Kate or Bluefish as my editor on Linux Mint ha.

I like leaving computers running for months (sleep at night) with a bunch of (context grouped) virtual windows the issue is when the OS resumes (windows or Mac) the stuff shifts around it's annoying (multi monitor).

I use Office/Safari/Photos/Whatsapp/VLC and sometimes Chrome on my 2015 MacBook Air with 8GB, and it seems to work OK.
