I remember the OS running from an 51/4" cardboard Floppy
Since when was 8GB RAM, let alone 8GB VRAM, a problem? Are you running ML models, video editing or some special games?? Or some weird poorly-written thing like Windows OS?
Are you running ML models
Yes.
I have 3GB of VRAM. 8 would be great!

I remember my first 20MB HDD. Imagined it would be impossible to ever fill this gargantuan hog. Well…
I’m young enough that the first “computer” I ever owned in my childhood was the first generation iPad. 64 GB felt huge back then and was a pretty big deal for solid state storage for the time.
I then got a junker Windows XP computer mainly because the iPad didn’t let me mess around with the OS nearly as much as I wanted. Learned to program on that old computer using the iPad for online tutorials. But the hard drive was only 40 GB and it blew kid me’s mind the difference in size between the single chip of the iPad and the metal brick of the hard drive, yet the hard drive has less storage.
Lol…that is still a thing that amazes me up to today. My watch now has more ram than my first 10 computers had combined with ram and HDD 😁
Linux Mint runs pretty well on 8 gigs of ram on a T460.
HARD DISK STORAGE 🪦
I fondly remember having 8 GB of storage, because I could back up my hard drive on like two dollars worth of CD-Rs.
I feared no virus. Reinstalling XP was a monthly affair regardless.
Who needs more than 8GB disk space for a Debian computer with Firefox and Chrome?
1 tb is a good start for most use case. 5 tb…? now you’re getting somewhere.
L1 cache?
