For real. Once I've opened Spotify, Slack, Teams, and a browser about 10GB of RAM is in use. I barely have any RAM left over for actual work.
That’s why I only run those on work computers (where they are mandated by the company). My personal computers are free of these software.
Seems like the perfect target for ESG.
I keep wondering why we can't have 2000s software on today's hardware. Maybe because browsers are de facto required to build apps?
