> but the SSD is giving you the impression that 8GB are enough

If it works, is it impression or reality?



Swap isn't great for SSD lifespan. Probably not a drastic loss, but nonetheless not helping its longevity.


Impression is in the realm of reality, it's simply deceptive

Jetbrains that fits in 8GB of memory with slack and Firefox leaving 2GB free it's not happening

I used to code on 800×600 monitors professionally

If I say today that they are more than enough to work, I expect to be taken to a mental institution


Until the SSD dies. It's recommend to disable swap if you have an ssd
