System requirements for me and not for thee

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

Most RAM Linux reports as in used is actually used as disc cache to speed up the IO.
- Well having 64GB RAM has been a huge boost to how fast everything feels so this checks out.
  
  I remember having 64kb, and it was large...
  
  I don't remember those days. I used Windows 3.1 (with DOS for games) at a relatives house, but it was too early for me to understand about the hardware. We also had some Apple computers at school with I think 5 1/4" floppy disks but again I didn't really get technically savvy until I was older.
  The first PC we had at home was Windows 95. I seem to recall we had a pretty decent amount of RAM. Maybe 32MB or perhaps even 64MB.
  
  I used an Apple II at school, but that was already the fourth computer I worked with. The first was a one-board computer with an LCD and one kilobyte of RAM, the second was a TI99/4A with 16 KB, and the third was a C64. I never had a PC running Windows as a main OS, but one of my earlier PCs had win95 as an alternative boot for gaming only.
  
  I know my wife had some computer in her family earlier than we did in mine, it had a black and green screen (as in the screen only showed those colours). Not sure what it was, but it must have been the 80s I'd guess.
  Looking through the wikipedia page for the Apply II I'm pretty sure one of the variations is what we had at school that I was referring to. I find it really hard to remember back that far, though!
  I used Windows through to when I got a Mac for a while and used OSX (it was during the intel CPU period and I dual booted Windows). I had tested out various Linux distros over the years and always had a live linux CD just in case I needed to rescue a computer, but didn't use it as a daily driver until I got my current laptop about 3 years ago. I switched from Windows to Linux cold turkey, no dual boot. I figured most things are in the browser these days anyway. The only thing I've never solved is that my scanner will scan at 1200DPI in Windows but never more than 300DPI in Linux. I have drivers downloaded from the Brother website but it doesn't help 🙁. So I have to use my wife's Windows laptop if I want to scan photos.
