Would you be able to work comfortably with just 512 MB of RAM?

I wouldn't be able to work comfortably with 4 GB of RAM
Logan Young
i can work on my orangepi zero, yes. can't browse bloated websites with it, though.
John Campbell

based Jow Forums
Jonathan Stewart
kek
John Hughes
yes i can work with 512mb
>cant load websites
uh, n no its bloated my rams fine
>seething
if you have to avoid certain activities to keep below acceptable usage, guess what: It doesnt work for you retard.
James Rivera
A few months ago I would have said yes but now with 4k video editing and truckloads of raw photos not anymore.
Benjamin Cook
Photoshop needs 16GB for focus stacking 40-120 images. Preferably 32GB and a dedicated scratch disk.
Tyler Walker
no, I use up to 20-30GB in one program alone
Thomas White
It depends on what you’re calling work. Virtually almost everything would still be doable with only 512MB of Ram with the right software and for the right activities, you’re not going to edit 4K video that’s for sure, but you could do a lot of things.
Luke Walker
Sure it only takes about 50 to get on Jow Forums in a comfy riced uzbl
Logan Turner
My seedbox isn't comfortable with that.
Nolan Cooper
ok, gamer. i only really edit config files and run a web server on it but if i wanted to i could write something like for Jow Forums and other imageboards and use mpv+youtube-dl for youtube etc etc. sbcs are pretty good at that. granted, you won't be able to browse faceberg or r3dd1t but who gives a shit about those?
John Young
No, I had huge problems on one of my shitboxes with 2gb. I had to upgrade to 4.
Angel Robinson
user I'm a total minimal RAM autist, but I've never seen this before. What distro/setup is this?
Andrew Long
Arch, awesome wm, uzbl web browser, and rxvt-unicode
Awesome is pretty bloated as far as tiling wms go, I think it uses like 10 MB RAM on its own but it's so comfy
Brandon Davis
Weird, I'm on Void and I3, and I still use up about 170mb RAM idle :/
Angel Gutierrez
Same user here, here's my memory usage. How come your Xserver uses so few RAM?
Liam Martinez
depends. 8gb ram for office work stuff. 16gb+ ram for resource intensive stuff
Brody Johnson
You're probably using disgusting 64 bit OS for starters, alongside all that bloatware like polkit and NetworkManager
Kayden Barnes
conky is kewl
Asher Thomas
user please enlighten me why 64 bit uses more from the get go. Also I'm not sure what polkit is, and what would be a good alternative to NetworkManager? wpa_supplicant?
Owen Martinez
512 MB was too little for me in 2005, I updraded to a whopping 1536 MB that year.
Kayden Nguyen
>64 bit uses more from the get go
it has more bits. Storing a single number takes 64 bits instead of only 32 so you effectively double your memory usage
And yes, wpa_supplicant and ifconfig/iwconfig with dhcpcd or dhclient would be less bloat than NetworkManager. I am NOT a minimal fag any more though, and I say if something provides you utility it isn't bloat. I was just a poorfag back when I took those scrots and only had 512 MB RAM so I was a minimalfag by necessity.
A:LSO the more memory you have the more your system will use. So it's easier to use little RAM on a system with little RAM
ALSO ALSO those scrots I posted were from like 2010, software just uses more memory now
Gabriel Kelly
install minimal distro if you want to browse use lynx..
Evan Lopez
What uzbl do you use? As far as I know the main uzbl repository hasn't been updated in ages. Is it one of those "it's finished just link against the latest version of the libraries" deal or are you using a fork or what?
Jeremiah Campbell
>Would you be able to work comfortably with just 512 MB of RAM?
Considering my work consists of 3D modeling and animation which can be notoriously RAM heavy, I wouldn't be able to work at all.
Liam Lopez
in the first four lines of your post, your greentexted lines should be black and your black lines should be greentexted.
Bentley Jackson
I think with surf instead of firefox I could do that pretty easily.
Ryder Garcia
this looks like a poor man's windows 10
Nicholas Allen
My Gentoo used 100 MB with a web browser open. I had 1024 MB and they were enough, but I guess I would have encountered problems compiling packages with 512 MB only.
Lincoln Collins

Jeremiah Powell
it's minimal because it uses lynx
Nolan Jackson
in 2008 I could edit couple of 2000px PSDs in PS CS2, browse bunch a of sites using Oprah and talk on Skype at same time on sony vaio pentium 4 laptop/oven 512 meg windows xp horsepower
what happen?
Isaac Hernandez
>firefox right up top in htop
Logan Cooper
i can even work with 112 MB of ram
Cameron Reyes
On my old laptop that's only for writing and just running tty most of the time? Sure. On my main PC? No.
Kayden Bell
Considering 7 had just been released, the poor man was well ahead of his time.
Elijah Richardson
stancer rat car........i yeeted myself from this thread
Luke Robinson
I have a pc i'm running Xfce Debian on with 3gb, and while its usable, try to open more than a few things and it grinds to a halt.
8gb should be the defacto for a non-gaming/workstation pc, and 16+ otherwise
Luke Smith
If by "work" you mean do the normie and read comfy threads on Jow Forums while I listen to music and chat through Discord... no.
Right now I'm using 1 GB of RAM mostly shared by the Windows OS, Firefox (5 Jow Forums tabs, 9Anime and Discord), AIMP and ShareX.
Nolan Harris
just lol I'm basically never ever below 20GB thx satya
Blake Kelly

Owen Murphy
Nigger I would be happy with 64K of RAM.
