If that was the case I wouldn't have 4GB of idle ram just sitting in my PC. There is no unloading to swap when 50% of available ram is unused.
you did notice the person you are replying to is using linux, right?
they are correct, 16gb goes a loooooong way in linux. I know begause I too have 16 on my work and gaming rig and ram has never been a bottleneck
