    Im on Linux and it requires just as much memory as it did in 2018. No problem here.

      I upgraded mine from 16GB to 32GB two years ago beacuse RAM was cheap. I didn’t really need it, and have probably never hit 16GB usage anyway.

      Meanwhile my work Windows laptop uses 16GB at idle after first login.

      Windows has always been wasteful computing, and everyone just pays for it.

        Seems like you (or your company) installed loads of bloat.

        You do know you can disable programs from starting during boot, right?

          I fired up procexp and found nessus scanning every file on my drive. I found the SentinelOne had written 10GB of logs since start. I found some bullshit dell service was slamming the CPU. It’s all shit that my company put there.

          I found that it adds an extra 7 minutes to a 12 minute build when I compile my project, compared to doing it on WSL. The Windows bloat is insane.
