Ram usage on windows compared to Linux
  • The ancient MacBook in question has a firmware limitation and thus only supports 4gb, it was already upgraded from 2gb iirc (black 2007 MacBook 3,1). My current laptop has 16gb soldered, too bad that the hinge will die again before the ram becomes insufficient

  • Ram usage on windows compared to Linux
  • I don't get why this is always mentioned. Windows caches too and uses up all free space for faster application startup, but just because it also does it doesn't change the fact that it uses more ram for active processes while doing nothing. I remember Minecraft running a lot better on my old MacBook with just 4gb of ram as Ubuntu used less than Mac OS X and I could allocate more to the game, whether cacheing was enabled or not on those OSes was not relevant. This should not be relevant today as 32gb of ram can be purchased for less than 100 bucks but sadly is as Apple and other laptop manufacturers think selling soldered 8gb is ok for a base model in 2023 for a laptop costing more than 300 bucks

  • Im going to get banned for this
  • I recently set up a laptop for a friend and he was so pissed off that the user folder was just named after the first five letters of the Microsoft Account that I had to redo it with a local account

    I'd just like to interject for a moment. What I've been referring to as "being fine", is in fact, Dysthymia/being fine, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Dysthymia plus being fine
