I have a Thinkpad x250 with only one DDR3 ram slot stuck and upgrading past 8GB of ram would cost more than a better laptop. It isn't enough. You need 16GB just for web browsing on a normal OS. I found 16GB not enough to do that on Qubes.
stop being poor.
The computer probably thinks you're retarded for wanting the memory use to be at >10%
It doesn't say anything, but it's probably thinking, >why does this retard not let me use my components to make myself faster?

It's like night and day, I'm going for 8GB as a minimum from now on, and hopefully will increase it over time on all my devices.

same though i was never that much of coper with the 4gb. i knew it was shit but i legitimately could still use the computer how i wanted to.
but i upgraded to 16gb very recently and i was really torturing myself for years desu.

you could do that on 8gb RAM no problem.and if you upgraded to 128gb of ram on that same machine doing the same stuff your system would use more too, Windows preloads stuff and tries to predict what you're gonna do to work faster

its called abundance.
theres a store here that sells sandwiches and they throw out atleast 5 a night cause i see them sitting there before closing. i usually steal them because fuck retarded corporations wasting food.
