Well that is entirely a function of what you are trying to run and how 
much RAM you bought.

3GB of Windows VM plus a python application (god python seems to waste 
memory) plus a browser with 5 tabs open started swapping on a n 8Gbyte 
machine., Its now 24 and all is well.

A Pi Zero only has 512MByte

X-windows isn't even going to get out of bed with that.
