| wofA | what's the ram requirement of lubuntu? | 23:04 |
|---|---|---|
| wofA | minimum. | 23:04 |
| wofA | does it run on a 1GB RAM lappy? | 23:04 |
| tomreyn | it might run, but it won't be usable | 23:06 |
| wofA | why | 23:06 |
| tomreyn | too little ram | 23:06 |
| wofA | even just to login? | 23:06 |
| tomreyn | not sure about that | 23:06 |
| tomreyn | possibly even to boot | 23:06 |
| wofA | can i run it just to open firefox? | 23:06 |
| wofA | wat. just to boot, 1GB not enough? | 23:07 |
| tomreyn | give it a try | 23:07 |
| tomreyn | if you have shared ram for graphics, then it could be too little to boot | 23:07 |
| wofA | in 2015, i installed gentoo/archlinux, and they were using just tens of MBsof RAM upon logging in. | 23:07 |
| tomreyn | but my guess is you will get until the point where you try to render a web page | 23:08 |
| wofA | insane. can't view a 2D page with 1GB. | 23:08 |
| tomreyn | no one has just 1 GB nowadays | 23:08 |
| wofA | old lappy | 23:09 |
| wofA | i know. but it's insane how developers are abusing extra rams. | 23:09 |
| tomreyn | you can use it as a server | 23:09 |
| wofA | just can't run a gui? | 23:09 |
| tomreyn | or run a distro which is there for this very situation, way too little ram systems | 23:10 |
| wofA | got a recommendation? | 23:10 |
| tomreyn | try #linux | 23:13 |
| tomreyn | puppy might be one | 23:13 |
