      2 GB RAM will seriously hamper usability with modern (admittedly often bloated) apps, many of which may not even run on Android 8 or 9. No system will leave 1 GB free on average. Why should it? What good is RAM if it isn’t used?

        Actually I use a phone that has 2 GB of ram and it runs just fine. Event some lite gaming isn’t a problem. The only thing you will miss though will be multi tasking because it’s basically non existent.

          You are right, 2 GB is enough for almost all apps, but it makes switching between multiple apps painful, because it always has to reload the other app(s) when they had been removed from main memory, which happens frequently. I found 3 GB these days to be the minimum for comfortable work (with 2 GB being “just fine”, as you said), which is what my tablet has, and I’m glad my phone has 6, which makes it a lot snappier, since I regularly and quickly switch between 5 or 6 different apps. Although most of these are not particular memory hogs (except fennec/firefox), having literally “more than just enough” RAM makes it a lot quicker.

            swapfiles can be quite useful if you have a device with 2gb ram or less.

        I don’t mind waiting a few seconds for an app to load if my device lasts longer. I don’t use apps that are “too bloated”. The creators should optimize their software if they want me to use it.
