"Yeah I was working on a project involving a gazillion different components using a memory guzzling Jetbrains IDE, but for some reason thought 16GB of RAM should be plenty for that workstation. Imagine my frustration at the OS when it didn't automagically guess that I would need much more memory after I completely ignored the partitioning settings during installation, where it clearly showed only reserving 500MB for swap!" Man, there's people expecting aan OS/desktop to "just work", and then there's people who think that phrase means the machine should anticipate whatever stupid ideas you may have at any point.
