I do dare to disagree.
I date back from the (2.0-kernels) days when 64MB was considered huge. And enough to run gnome or kde, and having Firefox and LibreOffice (then still StarOffice) and a dozen daemons.
This ever increasing binary footprint, for basic operations is beyond reason.
And far worse: people considering this ‘normal’. It ain’t.

For people doing nlve, ray-tracing, coin-delving, or having huge databases entirely in-mem, it’s understandable, no problem with that.

My iPad Pro (3rd generation) just has got 6 GB RAM and is used for
things, such as NLVE on a more or less professional level. If you want
to do more or less amateurish video editing on Linux, you
probably already need way more than 8 GiB of RAM.
