You obviously do a LOT more photo editing than I do. 16 GBs works fine for what I need. I also don't need 1 to 2 TB of storage.

Okay. Different usage patterns than mine. My Optiplex Micro 9020m desktop computers (7"x7"x1.5"), external power supply, actually have both M.2 SSD slots and 2.5" SATA slots, so I could have quite a bit of storage in them (if I needed it). Same with my Latitude E7440 laptop (same two slots). I am limited to 16 GBs of RAM on both, however. (For what I do, 8 GB would be sufficient, but the RAM is cheap for these now and they run nicer with the extra RAM.)
Also Linux does more with lower spec hardware than does Windows.
