They’re raising it because of RAM needs of browsers and GNOME.
If you’re a shell nerd like me, you’ll still be fine running it on a potato.

It's an illuminating experience to go to a store with Apple computers with 8GB of RAM on display, and browse to a RAM-heavy unoptimized website like YouTube or even Reddit now. Open a few tabs. Open a dozen. You'd be surprised what a decently coded OS can pull off without compromising on the visuals.

A **full** potato? Lol, when I was young I had nothing but a french fry, scavenged from a McDonald's bin.
