Not the best timing due to the RAMpocalypse, but there are leaner distros like Lubuntu available if you need them.

Great move in these times where RAM is cheap and widely available

If you're strugging to afford an 8GB RAM chip, you may want to reconsider some of your life choices. Even with current market prices.

Poverty = life choices is the most reddit I've seen in Lemmy in a long while

No doubt the two aren't always connected, but in the US at least, 8gb isnt exactly breaking the average American household's bank. And if it is, yeah I'd argue they're doing something wrong in their decisions. One could mow a few lawns and have enough cash to keep up with the modern requirements of an OS.

"No doubt they are always connected but I double down anyway".

One could mow a few lawns and have enough cash to keep up with the modern requirements of an 0S.

Now that's not just reddit, thats Fox News levels disconnect with reality.

Never thought I'd see "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" being used to defend inflated RAM prices, it's getting wild over here
