The problem is that I had to get the cheapest one to be able to add it to the tax writeoff in a single year, otherwise it’s split among three years (the tax code in my country is weird like that). If I could aftermarket-upgrade the RAM, I could just have bought the basic model and then upgraded, but that’s not what Apple wants me to do.
Also, how should I know that I needed more RAM? It’s not like they’re writing that on the box (quite the opposite actually, Apple says that 8GB is enough for everyone).
Yes and no. My previous Mac was a MacBook back when they still had RAM slots. I switched away from macOS because it became such an embarrassment of an OS.

Is this your first time buying a Mac?
Yes and no. My previous Mac was a MacBook back when they still had RAM slots. I switched away from macOS because it became such an embarrassment of an OS.
To what did you switch to?
First Windows 10, then Linux.
