Memory requirements for Magento 2

I am trying to install Magento 2 locally on my laptop which has Ubuntu running on it. I have read the requirements for installation and it says 2 GB memory.

But unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be working for me. I tried to install via Mark Shust’s docker image solution but my RAM is only 8 GB and the required memory for this image is 6 GB. If I allocate 6GBs to docker than my Ubuntu desktop stops working.

I tried to follow the official docs but if I run elasticsearch after installation then my system crashes and the system monitor shows a sudden spike in memory usage (6 GBs in total)

So I would like to ask, what is the actual memory requirements for running Magento 2 locally for development purposes (Including all the dependencies)?
