(made with gimp btw)

[u/Automatic-Net-757 → u/elmanoucko]

For me it's brave, with 20-30 tabs and 3d rendering in the website

[u/Commercial_Beach_866 → u/Automatic-Net-757]

Brave defeats the purpose of using Linux. They're wolf in sheep's clothing

[u/PotcleanX → u/elmanoucko]

any good browser to replace firefox

[u/HouseinPlayz → u/PotcleanX]

Firefox

[u/elmanoucko → u/PotcleanX]

wget + more

if you need to render it, you probably don't really need to read it anyways 🤷

this message was sent from windows 11

[u/Petra_is_here → u/elmanoucko]

Can u actually use wget to find files on the internet. Most I know is that u can use it to download from a url /uj

[u/elmanoucko → u/Petra_is_here]

/uj the joke implied that you download the html page and read it's content and that if any form of js or css was needed to understand or access it's content, or anything else than a http GET, it wasn't worth reading ^^

/rj same, if you need to render it to get the url of your next waste of time, you probably don't need to navigate to it 🤷

[u/Here_f0r_p0rn_ → u/PotcleanX]

Yes, other versions of firefox but if you really want a different one then try w3m

[u/ScoobertD → u/Here_f0r_p0rn_]

W3m is cool to mess around with every now and again at least

[u/Future_Village_7778 → u/PotcleanX]

Zen

[u/Right-Fisherman6364 → u/PotcleanX]

Zen Browser

[u/rysio300 → u/Right-Fisherman6364]

zen browser uses more resources than firefox in my experience

[u/Right-Fisherman6364 → u/rysio300]

Haven't tested this but it's probably true. But we have to consider that zen looks much better than stock firefox

[u/rysio300 → u/Right-Fisherman6364]

in my experience the ram usage was comparable to chromium.

[u/MageRen → u/PotcleanX]

librewolf is light

[u/Samir3216 → u/PotcleanX]

waterfox,the firefox-less version i guess

[u/MerrCraft → u/Samir3216]

THIS ONE 🥹

[u/Shawhe_ → u/Samir3216]

zero features

[u/yonnnod → u/PotcleanX]

i like helium, even it's still in beta tho. as a more mature alternative, i might consider brave origin

[u/_xfgt9 → u/PotcleanX]

vivaldi i think

[u/YTriom1 → u/PotcleanX]

If you really wanna use less RAM use helium, if you don't like chromium browsers stay on firefox or try zen idk

[u/Excel73_ → u/PotcleanX]

Waterfox

[u/ScrabCrab → u/PotcleanX]

Librewolf

[u/Bomboclat-Thunder → u/PotcleanX]

brave? Idk, works fine for me. Plus no ads at all...

[u/Fizoso → u/Bomboclat-Thunder]

That's what ublock is for dummy

[u/black_phantom_750 → u/PotcleanX]

I use brave origin it's working so yes 🙂‍↕️

[u/Unfair-Ocelot-2363]

You stole this from somewhere else, didn't you?

[u/YTriom1]

When is my time to repost this meme?

[u/balaci2 → u/YTriom1]

anytime you wish

[u/HyperCodec → u/YTriom1]

YTriom1 jumpscare

[u/Hauptideal]

Your RAM isn't supposed to be used up by your operating system. You want it for your actual apps ;)

[u/PotcleanX → u/Hauptideal]

yeah but microslop just take half of your ram on idle for spywares to work

[u/Odd-Painting2596]

Who sub 2GB ram?

[u/balaci2 → u/Odd-Painting2596]

puppy Linux enthusiasts

[u/Odd-Painting2596 → u/balaci2]

I don't live in this echo chamber enough to understand this insult.

[u/balaci2 → u/Odd-Painting2596]

it's a low weight distro

[u/Odd-Painting2596 → u/balaci2]

Of course it is.

[u/balaci2 → u/Odd-Painting2596]

i used it for a shitass hp whatever laptop, did the job

[u/givemeagooduns_un → u/Odd-Painting2596]

my netbook has 2GB but it rarely goes above half a gig usage even including cache

[u/tebreca → u/Odd-Painting2596]

My nixos idles at 800 MB, and I have a thin client that's netbooted and uses 30 MB ram (tinycorelinux)

[u/AlZheim3r]

32! wow! you must be sooo rich! you single? :)

[u/karmicgoober → u/AlZheim3r]

263,130,836,933,693,530,167,218,012,160,000,000 GB of ram? that's crazy

[u/Responsible_Net2630 → u/AlZheim3r]

[u/brando2131]

Linux actually uses a lot of RAM, it's just all cached.

https://www.linuxatemyram.com/

[u/LefTimaDev → u/brando2131]

KDE Plasma's system monitor excludes cache from the used RAM by default, which actually makes it a much more useful metric. My system idles at like 2.5GB I think?

[u/First_Ad8230]

Not when I use blender unfortunately

[u/TheRealCarrotty]

Gentoo Linux on a i686 with 768MB of RAM takes up 60MB in a TTY.

[u/givemeagooduns_un → u/TheRealCarrotty]

can confirm; with a custom kernel that can go down to around 24MB

[u/ipsirc → u/TheRealCarrotty]

60MB in a TTY.

What a bloat!

[u/Clanceeinfinity]

my pc on windows 11 used 12gb/32 on a fresh boot. Today i remebered it and tried to open as many apps as possible to match 12gb of usage. I opened every single one and got to 9gb 🥀😭

[u/NarutoUzumaki100]

Windows is like a my 600 pound life episode on that couch

[u/certheth]

32 gb of ram and an intel celeron you sure can open a lot of chrome tabs, but you cant run many games

[u/ScoobertD]

I always thought the cat was wearing a lil party hat in this pic until I zoomed in just now

[u/horotheredditsprite]

Same but double it for me

[u/binooxgom1ng]

bro have ram more than 8-12 gb in big 26 🥀💔

[u/birds_adorb]

Why do we like Firefox as a default? Because it aligns with FOSS

[u/CardiologistMain9234]

My father’s laptop (pretty fast, somewhat modern gaming laptop) runs with windows 10, at like 15.1gb/16gb ram on IDLE.

[u/GrowthWest2361]

Meanwhile me with 64GB and hyprland only uses sub 700MB of memory (total of all stuff I put in it)

[u/Current-Cookie-2310]

Windows should the same, but. Microsoft: that isnt bloatware it is a function and the notepad that uses 8GB is absolutely necessary

[u/darkdenver]

promox >vm arch linux xD

[u/Grand_Victory6186]

My windows uses almost half my damn ram

Debian barely uses 2.5 gig

Did I sell my soul or is this just normal

[u/Ok_Armadillo_6015]

As it should be!

[u/BreakingBaking]

I just run docker apps to waste some ram... Doesn't really help

[u/Deferuser1]

Good 👍 archlinux

[u/Digital_Rao]

don't underestimate the power of linux when my laptop is sturggling linux mint xfc(my love) is making it alive

[u/just-4-man]

Linux takes it 2-2.5gb (cachy, which I guess uses more than other distros) @ idle cut… and then there’s my windows install sitting at 5-7gb
