What? FF with a bunch of Jira tabs, Outlook, Teams, Excel, Miro, Spotify, and I am at 100% of 16 gigs. Not even saying anything about running a 8gig VM from time to time
Teams, Firefox, and Outlook and that’s most of my Windows work PC RAM gone. Have to close out of my dev work whenever a meeting is afoot because the calls fucking hammer this thing.
Teams is the most performance inefficient shit I’ve ever been forced to use.
We use both Zoom and Teams for meeting with partners. On my piece of shit work laptop, I have no problem with Zoom. Teams on the other hand will randomly cut my audio, lag my cursor, or cause peripherals to stop working when I’m in a meeting. I simply can’t fathom how it’s as bad as it is.
When it’s being used, stuff gets slower - so yes, I technically use it as an indicator, by noticing that my machine is slow because it’s out of free ram

Discord, spotify, Firefox and minecraft (with Mods) is enough to bring down my 16 gbs

That’s because Teams is a piece of shit, not because 16GB isn’t enough normally.
16gb will go far on MacOS and any Linux distro you throw at it. Windows 11 will struggle.

How much is your page being used? That’s a more real indicator. You should want all of your ram to be used.

No. No I can play games on Linux without capping my 16.
Edit: yes I checked page file use, dip-ass. Not counting GPU ram.
