    • 6GB or 8GB RAM Fairphone 5 needed to run 24.04-1.x comfortably?

      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.
