• ZDNet ☛ How much RAM does your Linux PC really need? My expert advice for 2025

  I'm not going to start this with a "back in the day" because it's too easy and obvious. Besides, it's time to live in the now, and today's rules and needs are not the same as they were 10, 20, or 30 years ago.

  Modern Linux is powerful, flexible, stable, and secure. With the exception of some of the more lightweight Linux distributions, it's also far more resource-dependent (just like all modern operating systems).

  Consider this: The minimum system requirements for Ubuntu Desktop today include just 4GB of RAM. I've run Ubuntu on a virtual machine with only 3GB of RAM. Although those Ubuntu virtual machines are used only for testing purposes, the 3GB of RAM does pretty well. But I would never suggest you should get by with such a small amount.
