Even today smartphones are running low with just 2GB, . What kind of new PC-Game do you intend to play with just 2GB??, Most of Steam PC-GAMES required at least 4GB, so i think this is absurd discussion, world keeps on moving, you can't stuck in that point, Sorry, you must pay $$$ for new upgrades :mrgreen:

I suppose in three or five years they will have to surf internet in mode console if they want to keep those RAM memory sizes, cos web pages are not stopping to grow, and once increase badwithd, they will suddenly increase their sizes... So please, go trainning mode console browsing..so then you can stay with just 500Mb :D

@bester69:

Myself, I don't play games. If you're saying that 4 GB is necessary for playing "modern" games, I won't argue with that, because I don't know and I don't care. But I'm typing this from a computer that has "only" 2 GB RAM, and this computer gives me absolutely no problems with the stuff I use it for. Maybe some people need at least 4 GB of RAM, but it's ridiculous to state that everyone does. One thing you're right about:

I like to do many crazy sh!ts with console because i GUI can't do it. here it is one old scrot.
Streaming NHK JAPAN FHD with mpv, browsering with w3m, ranger and feh, weechat, conky, torrenting finally =156MB RAM

Clean|Vanilla|Core Debian (netinst) boots your machine with only 20MB.

4GB minimum? still no valid for most of us.

I'm out here.
Good luck with your bloated adventure.

Cheers and regards!

Im happy you can all live with less than 4GB,


One year ago or so, i was using Wheezy with 1GB, then i upgrade to 2GB and i thought my problems was gone, Now recentlly i migrated to Streetch and installed KDE5, and i saw that with 2GB i also was offten going into swapping, I had to go in mode console to kill the bad app.

So i know i could live with just 1GB and a lighter DE like MATE, but i wanted to enjoy KDE (kontact) so I needed at least 2GB, but the problem, is that 2GB remains short when you open some few tabs browser plus others apps. So 2Gb wasnt enought to be used propertly; thats why 4GB is required. Now no more problems, and i even enjoy using Virtual Machine and Internet browsing at the same time with many tabs.


Marry Christmas and happy new year. :wink:

bester69, it's been at least a few months since I've posted here, and I can't believe you're still trolling this subforum.

Precisely! The processor is quite essential nowadays and the DE and the distro. You can have 4GB Ram and a socket 775 Celeron 420 on Jessie LXDE, it won’t make a difference if you only have 2GB. Yet WattOS-LXDE runs a bit faster than Debian-LXDE on a socket 478 Pentium 4 with 1GB Ram or a socket 775 Pentium 4 with 1 GB Ram.

(Ram was essential with the Pentium II and III)
