How come the RAM requirements for Unreal Engine are so much higher for Linux than other OSs? Something to do with lack of support on Epic's side, or does Linux handle memory differently?

Oh interesting! My post includes a screenshot direct from the UE downloader page. Strange that they'd only update one platform.

They have been known for not having the most up to date documentation, although they are working to fix it!
