People are telling you that you need more RAM — and they are right. Everything from web pages, browsers, apps, plug-ins and more are prone to memory leaks. It's loikre whack-a-mole, developers quash a few to find that there are more.

Rebooting clears the RAM cache—that's why the problem disappears. If you do not reboot daily, get in the habit of doing so.

If doing music, I would not buy a PC with less than 32GB onboard—64 is better. Integrated RAM in Apple Silicon is more efficient—you can get by on 16GB but 32 or 64 is better.
