Well it depends...
On one hand there will be never enough memory (and cores) for the famous thinker's operating system just to run idle.
On the other hand you had some decades ago computers with everything stuffed in 64KB. For instance: a 16KB ROM with an OS, a BASIC interpreter, I/O, floating-point computations, etc.; 48KB RAM including the video memory. You had cool games and even a multi-window word processor on such a machine...
