Pfft, me and my 15 Firefox tabs take 5GB RAM minimu.
Strange. I use Firefox with 18 tabs open right now, and I use 1,5 GB of RAM...
Most of it is cued up videos I'll probably never watch. I'm horrible.
I know the feeling. Maybe not always videos, but I also keep some tabs open, that I have to get back to. Then, after a couple of weeks, I finally either bookmark them or delete them. :-)
There are addons to unload tabs after a time, so you can feed your watchlist habit even more aggressively
Well, to be honest, I went a little overboard and installed Cinnamon on Arch. My girly setup with 4gb can no longer do push-ups with one finger.
16GB RAM on windows is more than enough
And pretty sure 4GB on linux sucks

Well... Not exactly, Linux doesn't handle low RAM very well. Usually the system just crashes if you open too much stuff
it doesnt crash ime, but it does choke up a lot when ram is full.
much harder to get to that point on linux tho.
