1- that's not true. I use Windows too, so I know empirically you're lying.
2- Windows is a desktop OS. It's optimized for desktop usage. This means for example, preloading on unused RAM frequently used programs so they're already ready when you first open them. Linux lacks this basic functionality, because it's primarily a server OS. This means less RAM usage, but slower program boot times, for example. Chrome opens instantly for me on Windows while it literally takes seconds on Linux, same machine. This also means any RAM usage comparison between completely different OSes is flawed.

If you had 1/3 of that RAM there was no reason to use a swapfile on Linux even 10 years ago.

Windows 10 has mostly caught up with Linux' overall awesome memory management capabilities for desktop usage, but only mostly.

I happily use 8gb, if your using more than that at idle and aren't happy about it one of two things has happened:

1. You misunderstood what you wanted and needed out of your computer in the first place, in that case you shouldn't be building them yourself, because you clearly don't understand what your doing.

2. Your running enormous amounts of processes that you don't need, which means you don't understand how to effectively manage your computer, and don't understand what your doing.

Yes it does. It's how much RAM your OS has data cached in for quick access. It's not in active use. You could get 64 gigs of ram and if you use your computer long enough, it will fill that up with cached data.

I have 8gb, the only time I've seen a memory warning was on playing just cause 3, the game draws just about all the ram it can.
Game still runs with zero performance issues, can alt-tab to windows on a dime, open browser and do shit in the background.

Except 99% of these processes take maybe 1GB of this RAM. Rest is used by chrome, transmission daemon, two vms, windowed gmod and mpc-hc handling 1080p movie.

If windows doesn't have pagefile enabled it won't cummit anything into disk. It will simply show me a warning box that I'm running out of memory, and then close something for me if there is less than 100MB of memory.
And guess what, this NEVER happened, because windows can suspend it's functionality in background to free up memory, and samae goes for mpc-hc and gmod which frees up memory if needed.
The only situation when windows closed something for me was using dell venue 8 pro with 2GB RAM with pagefile disabled, and only when running chromium with 10 tabs, thunderbird and watching sh0ta in movie player.

João da Silva, retard.

Had 16 GB in previous build (4x4)
Thinking about getting 32 (4x8) in next build.

I have no idea when it comes to choosing ram but I know speed and timings are important. I'm sure getting 16 gb with better specs will be better than 32 with worse specs. Any anons want to chime in?

The problem is that windows uses ~2,5gb just idling.
