    Well that’s because you’re using a bloated distro. That’s the cost of all those features.

    My laptop, at 1.5 gigs of RAM, is blazing fast and has a smooth UX with a Debian+i3wm install.

      Blazing fast as long as you are only text editing and dont open a web browser.

        Okay, Jimmy Neutron. The meme said Linux, it did not specify that it was a Linux-based OS. The kernel uses a roughly similar amount of memory, it’s all the other crap in userspace that makes the difference.

        If you want to be a pedant, get it right next time.
