The 6GB RAM version of Fairphone 5 is often better priced than the 8GB RAM version. Therefore, a question to those of you who have experience with Fairphone 6GB and 8GB RAM versions:
- Is the 6GB RAM with 128GB storage Fairphone 5 always enough to run noble 24.04-1.x comfortably?
- In which case would you really need 8GB RAM?
The typical use case would be:
- Ubuntu Touch native apps,
- waydroid banking apps with authentication that actually work,
- waydroid signal,
- waydroid whatsapp,
- waydroid organic maps,
Desktop mode via USB-C display port libertine containers running:
- LibreOffice Writer and Calc with scripting,
- gimp,
- inkscape,
- thunderbird or evolution email,
- firefox with addons,
- emacs,
- occasional compiling with gcc, make, cmake,
- python3 scripting,
- bash scripting,
- ollama with tinyllama if it is possible at all.
This question may possibly also apply to the Fairphone 4 6GB RAM version which still seems to be available in some places.
