Slack, VS Code, Firefox, Steam, Rocket League, combined with no swap file, and Linux just handing out memory allocations like they’re bank loans meant to be paid back eventually and with interest, you get a system that just halts when the memory is finished.
I’m not saying the game needs 32 GB, am I.

Indeed. Now we’re starting up a whole new OS sandbox for every damn app. It’s ridiculous.
32 GB is a joke. With 32 GB, I had to close a few programs and my browser to reliably run Rocket League on Linux without the whole system grinding to a halt.
Managed to snag a whole new beast system with 64 GB before the prices shot up. Lucky me.

With 16 GB on my old work laptop, I am running Helix editor with a couple of LSPs, no AI whatsoever, and like a few tabs open with documentation and our somewhat memory unoptimized page. I sometimes have to close the tab so as not to crash the system. Memory is really abused these days.
