If you use firefox directly, rather than librewolf, mullvad, or mercury, always use ESR.

ESR is way more stable from what I am told.

Although, it also changes much less, so its probably accurate anyhow.

@kelsoo 2GB would be web browser + emulator type functionality inside of a window manager functionality or better.

Right now I am using less than 1500MB of ram and I am running dosbox-x with win95 in it. (games!)

Before that it was less than 900MB. I use jwm as many know here.

Anywho, my point I guess is, linux can be very minimal in ram usage if you try hard enough.

So yeah, you are correct.

@manessa Having 8GB means you could even have a vm of another linux distro on at the same time as well among quite a few other things. Provided your cpu could handle it, which it sounds like it could easily given it has 6 cores.

You will have very little trouble here even if you had a systemd distro.

But I doubt you plan to do that.

@quickfur  your joke regarding golinux was fun.

@golinux

Are there too many groaners in here for you and you find it annoying? Or can you not laugh at being poked at?

I don't really know specifically, but wondered for real.

If you want nonsense, just  plug some c4 into a cash register full of only coins and blow it up! Then you will really have NONCENTS!

@goat I noticed one time once I plugged in the AC adapter it started up, so you are probably right.

I wonder if there is a  cure to make it much less annoying.

Is there a way to do this:

with openrc or runit?

Also without powertop too.

@quickfur the address joke was gold. Very amusing.

And your response to golinux about the groaners keep coming was even more gold.

Just to be clear @the-amnesiac-philospher

I was saying your comment was racy not that I necessarily agreed with you posting it.

;P

@The-Amnesiac-Philospher Ain't that the truth...

A person goes to scottland and notices a huge jail with lots of water in the middle and asks someone why there is so much?

The person says, we need it to keep the monster happy, or it won't be locked up anymore. You know, the lock-ness

A donkey, a mob boss and a mad man all walk into a bar and the bartender says, former president what can I get for you?

@quickfur your last one was lame. But I have to admit, most of yours were pretty good in a decent punny way.

@LU344928 so... a  good summary for me from that, is that... its not just google that is not your friend, but also bloomberg and other corporate nonsense that is similar or worse.

Then again, I kind of guessed that long time ago...
