Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  • Β 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Most of the RAM is being used by the "News & Weather" app and other bloatware.

    You can call it Windows at this point

    Wow. I remember this page from back in the day. I searched exactly that ("Linux ate my ram"), and it taught me quite a bit. I forgot about it and am glad to see it still exists.

    That discord icon in the desktop... Can it actually run?

    [–] derpo@lemmy.world 46 points 2 years ago

    For its life, maybe

    [–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

    Not with CPU usage like that at idle.

    @endermanch proved windows 11 will boot with just 216 (3^6 ) MB RAM

    [–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Unused memory is wasted memory.

    [–] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

    Thats why I open enough Firefox tabs to use 5 gbs

    [–] Outsider9042@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

    Unused resources are wasted resources, right?

    [–] Standenboy@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

    Surprised it even managed to boot
