True story. I remember back in the bad old days when Firefox had notorious memory leaks, so when building my latest PC, I put in 32GB. The monitor app on my desktop has only ever topped out at showing 30% of memory allocated.

I spent years gaming on 8gb. Sure I could barely open bg3 but do I really need my 32 now?
Play star citizen. You'll use that up fast.
Floppinux anyone?
Long time ago I had a 3.5" HD floppy disk Linux with graphical user interface and ethernet and some programs on it. But 64 bit and the increased kernel size probably make this difficult nowadays.
Ram disks!!
When I think back to when I marveled that one of our office's 8Gb nightly backup tapes fit in my shirt pocket - EIGHT GIGABYTES - in my POCKET!!!...
In the future Gen ┐ will whine to their parents that their cerebral implant is only 100 terabytes.
But there's so much room for ACTIVITIES!!!
And on linux, so much room for cache that doesn't have to be dumped to disk!
install Garuda, not BionicPup
Look at all that room to get stuff done.
