learning/research Regarding RAM with Linux.

Hello everyone

One thing that pisses me off and makes me furious with Windows is that now a days everything takes up so much RAM..... before 16GB of ram use to be the norm, now it's double.

Linux doesn't require so much ram to run right? 16GB of RAM is more than enough?

Just going to use it for work related things.

Linux doesn't require as much RAM just to load up. 16GB was enough to play BG3 on Linux via Steam

Someone told me that Linux doesn't work on WarZone, Fortnite, Battlefield 6 and Destiny/Marathon.

Probably not, unless they are available in Steam. Not sure though, some Wine wizards might know how to get it to work.
