curious. im running all regular gui software and i usually only go over 8gb when im pushing it harder. the only time i do consistently is while gaming and even then im always below 16gb.

what distro are you running? do you have KSM enabled?

what do you use it for to be filling 8gb on linux?

its great on linux (regular distro, not particularly lightweight) and reasonable on windows 10 for me.

unless you are pushing too many tabs and/or many heavy programs

im forced to use it at work and holy shit. 11 is so heavy for no reason, 8gb of ram is not remotely enough anymore, even if you yank out some of the garbage. theres no apparent change in functionality to justify it.

the ssd smart says its almost at its end, and i suspect its because its constantly swapping. paging file is always full, unless i set it to something big like 8+ gb

🏴‍☠️

the friends i have who game either cant afford it anymore, or are playing things rocket league and fortnite and gacha games for multiplayer now. 😫

people want to play with friends, and with gaming getting lonelier, i think people are seeking the parasocial relationships on streaming sites.

i can tell because is not all proprietary

no one corporation can censor it or turn it into an altright cesspool.

every individual or company can have a federated instance if they please. lemmy is more akin to the old forums, which are a massive step forward.

not perfect; much better.

although i think my op was responding to another comment and i did a wrong.

oh fuck, this one always hurt. simulating chrome through a user agent swap works?

what stops you from using firefox for everything else?

i mean if you login with google on any google site on firefox, it will also log you in to everything…

and being cleaner is a matter of habit tbh, they look very similar

what i want to understand beyond just “did you know chrome bad” is why laymen are so insistent on it.

so we can break it.

nah, its a big step ahead of letting unelected billionaires control discourse, instead of an elected governing body.

even if you do, youd need an account

cheers

construction complete. new construction options.

low power.

having another one of these in a cluster is not off the table, but for now size is a priority. its all backed up with another router to take over if needed.

so, socialism?

you do if you want more than just a router

not the same class of device though
