My 16GB XPS running Linux almost fills up entirely when running several docker containers, IDEA, Firefox, Teams, Postman and a few other, smaller apps, but it fits still, and I can work with it (tho I can’t wait to get my 32GB framework laptop)

Now gimme a 8GB MBP and I’ll show you that I wouldn’t get shit done on that configuration. And at 1600 it’s just crazy.

11 gigabytes of that is probably being used up by Teams, it’s a memory hog.

Teams it’s the absolute worst and it’s the only app that can sometimes crash my Linux machine
