    On a minimal freebsd setup you can run some graphical session in sway to monitor programs with top while activating vim’s builtin autocomplete as ccls runs in the back and browse wikipedia using dillo to finally end with top showing a grand total of 145mb active ram. The entire OS is included in this.

    Wtf microsoft?

      145 megs is a lot NGL. You used to be able to do all those tasks (sans the autocomplete) on a PC with 64 megs of ram.

      My KDE install came to a grand total of 550MB last time I installed (KDE Neon at Plasma around 5.25 Ubuntu 22.04).

      The guy that greenlit it to be done in React Native is dumb as a rock. OSs comes with a shared UI library for a reason.

        Unused ram = wasted ram or something
