64gb of ram? What’s the use case for that?

It’s a CPU/GPU combo chip, and the GPU doesn’t have separate memory. So some % is reserved for the GPU.

Beyond that, I hate swapping. I never, ever have to worry about running out of RAM. I can run multiple Electron apps at the same time. Originally, I thought I’d be running Gnome or KDE, both of which are memory hogs. I can even run Java apps if I like

It’s freeing, really. And given that it was, like, $100 for two 32GB modules… why not?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word β€œLinux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
