On my laptop I run a browser, vscode, SQL DB's, web servers and the<br>
other usual stuff that I forget.<br>
<br>
$ free -h<br>

As you say it depends on what you are doing. 8GB would be fine for me<br>
on typical days. Occasionally I run a Windows VM and then 16GB isn't<br>
enough without swap. With swap I get by.<br>
<br>
If you aren't spilling over into swap very occasionally, I'd say you've<br>
spent too much on memory and using too much battery.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>free -h<br> total used free shared buff/cache available<br>Mem: 31Gi 18Gi 2.8Gi 7.3Gi 9Gi 4.7Gi<br>Swap: 18Gi 8.2Gi 10Gi<br></div><div><br></div><div> <br></div></div></div>
