How much ram to allocate for virtual machines

[Qubit]

I have 16gb of ram... hom much ram should i allocate for the virtual machines images of linux that i might open from time to time with oracle vm?

 

linux mint, kali linux, black arch.....

like 2gb - 4gb

 

 

most linux distros run fine from 1gb and up so the amount of ram depends on what you do with the vms.

Only when the vm is open.
