The article itself acknowledges that the headline is bullshit:

> The change isn't about the core operating system becoming resource-hungry. Instead, it reflects the way people use computers today—multiple browser tabs, web apps, and multitasking workflows

Basically the change reflects the fact that, at this level of analysis (how much RAM do I need in my consumer PC), the OS is irrelevant these days. If you use a web browser then that will dominate your resource requirements and there's nothing Linux can do about that.

Exactly. The headline is clickbait.

It doesn't matter how efficient your kernel or DE is if users expect to be able to load bloated websites in Chrome.

The headline is clickbait and the acknowledgement is LLM

It isn't about the X emdash it's about the Y

It's slightly off from llm content but reads like someone touched it up afterwards
