My main desktop is a Raspberry Pi 4B+ with 8GiB.  Mostly I'm messing with
GIMP on smallish pictures, about 1000 pixels square.  Just now GIMP has
about a dozen of these open.  Plus two dozen instances of an Image Viewer
program that I concocted with Python and PIL, and 3 or 4 pcmanfm windows
with thumbnails  of up to a couple thousand of these pictures each.
`top` says that swap is full (100MiB), but there's 1.2 GiB of memory
available.

GIMP that came with Raspberry Pi OS is not wonderfully stable -- might
crash once a day on average.  Doesn't seem directly due to memory shortage
though.  Console messages from one time that I ran it from the command
line hinted that there might be mutual exclusion problems with GtK, or
something.
