You're viewing a single thread.
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
It sucks that better alternatives like slack went from the big player to a small player only because of Microsofts power over businesses. If teams would win because it was actually a better product I'd be fine with that. But teams is just a pile of shit we are forced to use.
