Play star citizen. You’ll use that up fast.
Java would like to hog the couch
Once you fire up a webpage it’ll just dump garbage all over the couch.
Try realizing ten thousand mesh instances in Blender and watch that sucker eat the rest of your RAM like it’s got a pebble in its shoe.
I did that on my work PC with 128 GB memory (originally built for esports shit) and it still wasn’t enough.
so much space for activities
Microsoft Flight Simulator: A whole airplane on the couch
Meanwhile the electron app you’re trying to run
you are right :d
When I think back to when I marveled that one of our office’s 8Gb nightly backup tapes fit in my shirt pocket - EIGHT GIGABYTES - in my POCKET!!!…
In the future Gen ┐ will whine to their parents that their cerebral implant is only 100 terabytes.
Can’t relate, just upgraded my laptop from 32GB to 64GB since VScode would keep closing due to OOM. What? Oh, no, it’s not vscode’s fault…I keep like 5 Firefox windows with 30+ tabs open, like a fucking maniac… Close them? What do you mean “close” them?
I mean, I doubt Kate or Geany or Vim would’ve closed due to OOM, but sure…
Like any cat, Linux is actually liquid and can flow over the whole sofa if it so chooses.
But there’s so much room for ACTIVITIES!!!
Y’all need to point me towards one of those tiny Linux systems. I have an old no-longer-bricked Toshiba Satellite that somebody gave me and I got it to boot again, so I slapped Mint on it to see how I liked it since I’ve never messed with that distro before. The only problem is this sucker is a dog, it’s only got 2 gigs of RAM and a pokey 5400 RPM platter drive in it. The thing sits there and thrashes swap constantly even when it’s doing nothing, and when Mint is creating one of its automated system image rollback things it’s completely unusable. I’m surprised the laptop platters don’t escape their casing and bore into the Earth like a drill bit.
I found that it will… eventually… load and run the latest FreeCAD build and once it’s going it’s actually not bad (awful screen resolution and single touch only trackpad notwithstanding). But getting there when taken altogether takes about 20 minutes…
Arch, with XFCE and the strict bare minimum. Ex : midori instead of firefox, etc. Don’t dream about CAD
I spent years gaming on 8gb. Sure I could barely open bg3 but do I really need my 32 now?
Floppinux anyone?
Long time ago I had a 3.5" HD floppy disk Linux with graphical user interface and ethernet and some programs on it. But 64 bit and the increased kernel size probably make this difficult nowadays.
