>all these video gaming winbabbies saying you need terabytes

>>59817155
Wow, you sure showed us with your desktop environment that can show you a terminal of how little RAM it's using, and not much else.

>>59817155
Impressive.

I don't remember ever managing to boot under 50MB no matter how much I optimised my system but, granted, it was Ubuntu at its origin.

What distro?

>>59817228
Thats XFCE idiot. You don't know shit.

>>59817249
I sincerely hope you're trolling. I asked what distro, not what DM. Anyway, here's your (you).

I've actually browsed /g/ for quite a while, but I've been away for a few years. I remember at my peak I was using openbox with almost no graphic elements, vimperator, and a command line mp3 player. Fun times. Wish I still had other screencaps except this one.

I'm running several services on this device. Yellow is cached.

>>59817155
So, what kind of work do you do on that?

>>59819211
standard unix work

Hey you, stop cherrypicking.

there was no alpine in 2008

it looks like it came from 1999.

now open a web browser

>tfw Ubuntu idles at 2.8GB

>>59821825

Out of the box, yes.

>>59821807
something's wrong, notice how everything has 0 resident memory, that's not possible
"16.0Z" means 16 zebibytes (17,179,869,184 T/tebibytes), which is also clearly not accurate

>>59821857
with surf it still uses less than 100MB

unused RAM is wasted RAM

>>59822461
yes, but you have to go out of your way to not use all your RAM
in most OS's, ram not directly used by loaded software is used by disk caches, which are pretty useful as well

>>59822461
1. it uses the rest for caching
2. but if u have 1 64mb ram unit it won't be wasted

cant figure out whats using that 100mb
my other xp machines can idle under 100mb but for some reason this one has a bunch of stuff i cant disable that uses this much ram

Good god my eyes

>>59817155
Atari 2600 has 128 bytes of memory.

Deal with it.

>>59822536
yeah i know, the issue is ive got everything set up exactly the same as on for example, my T42 which can idle around 80-90mb of ram
but for some reason there are still some things running and i cant figure out where they are
because all i get of course is "svchost.exe" instead of a list of actual processes
>>59822539
its windows xp, what do you expect

>>59822505
but 98se is old
and that screenshot is just a few years old
and i'd imagine if i'd use something more minimal like 9wm it'd be even less

i had no idea this software existed
danks, this is useful as fuck

i still cant figure out whats using up so much memory that i can get rid of
i could expect a little bit higher because ive got nvidia drivers running, but im still over 150mb which is just kind of odd
nothing here seems out of the ordinary, its about the same as it is on the T42 and the G40

like literally whats your argument? i can write programs in acme/ed just fine and send them to the build server. i can listen to music with ffplay. i can browse the internet with surf. That's basically all you may need.
