screen shot of memory usage by app, showing Firefox using over 18GB of RAM

I also don’t understand why every chat app needs 1GB of RAM to itself.

    Solution: if you only have 4GB ram, nothing can use more than 4GB

      I had one stick of 16GB and it was not enough. I was going to get a second stick, but said screw it and got two 32GB (it’s a laptop and only has two slots).

        How does that even happen 💀💀 I have 2x8gb, usually have teams open, Firefox, telegram, a virtual machine with windows 10, a few IDEs and it usually only takes 10-12gb max mostly due to the vm requiring flat 8 gigs
