Honestly, I have been stunned by how well this little machine does with only 8gb of ram. It's at least as snappy and smooth as my yoga with 16 GB of ram running Fedora was before it broke. I do miss daily driving Fedora, and I've been keeping a list of things that irritate about macos vs Gnome/fedora just to see how the transition goes over the next year or so. But honestly, for my workflow it's been amazing. That said, I am primarily a browser based user and not a very techy person in general.
Oh, also, having an actual desktop top to sync proton drive has been *amazing *
Yeah, I also only have 8 gig in mine. I used to run into problems when I had multiple accounts running, with each accounts actively running Adobe apps, Figma, IDEs. That ‘lil fella couldn’t take that lol.
The Macs with 16gig can handle that abuse with no problem. 8 gigs, not so much. Lol.
