Ubuntu Linux raises minimum system memory requirements by 50% — requirements bumped to 6GB of RAM, previously raised from 1GB to 4GB in 2018

This doesn’t seem so bad, though. 2 GB more in about 10 years is pretty reasonable in terms of an increase. It’s not like they doubled it.

no it is not reasonable. What the hell do they need an extra 2gb for? What the hell is the operating system taking up that much resources for? My first pc needed 4MiB of ram for the os. Why does this need 1536x as much to provide… not much else tbh?

According to the article linked in the article, it’s not that the operating system itself is more demanding, but more that the DE, and Browsers/Websites are more demanding now. It feels like that Canonical basically needs to do the games thing of having a set of minimum specs for Ubuntu to run at all, and a recommend specs for Ubuntu to run well. Canonically basically bumped up the latter, but it’s being taken as the former.
