My laptop has 8GB and Linux and its really not enough to actually do much IMO, it's fine if it's just a single browser open with a few tabs though.

    If you haven’t already, you should consider making a swap file. I have a laptop with only 8gb that runs Firefox with tons of tabs no problem, and even works as a totally usable dev machine if I’m feeling patient lmao
