I don’t get why Android phones have so much ram.
They often have more ram than my wife’s MacBook and the same or my as my desktop.
How much ram is needed if you’re not gaming or video editing?
In my case, it’s a very occasional picture or video recorded and then just social media apps and web. Do I need to get a phone with 12gb? Or is that just thrown in there for marketing?
Oh, they actually do name it so! https://www.windowscentral.com/how-change-virtual-memory-size-windows-10
I was under impression Linux uses the term swap partition (or swap file if it’s in a file which is much less common) while Windows calls them either swap files or paging files. Looks like you’re right and Windows uses these terms interchangeably.
