      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.

          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.

          What goalpost you potato? What was said basically amounts to “your experience differs because of (completely optional customizations)”

      Braindead responses and honestly probably just bait anyone passing through, ignore this fool. Ubuntu base install(gnome), in my experience uses less than 2gb of ram at idle. (Even less when using xfce or lxqt) Dummy added bloat to his system and then came on here to bitch about nothing. either that or hes a bot, troll or both.
