One of the features that I love of BL ( and other small distros) is the minimal RAM footprint.
But here everybody knows it, and the Bodhi devs deserve a big thank for that.
But let's talk about another OS: Windows 10.
I've read many articles and posts where users state that it is not usable with 4gb RAM.
To be clear: I know that for some applications 4gb are not enough, and I'm thinking about video editing, big DB management, DAWs with many VSTs open....
But are they enough for surfing and office tasks?
I recently upgraded one of my work laptop running Win10 (I need Office), from 4 to 8 gb ram, and I wanted to test it.
I've opened Opera (5 tabs), World, Excel, PowerPoint, Inkscape and GIMP and I had 4,1 gb taken ( with only 161mb compressed and a few MB swap in use.
For a basic user, who will never have all these apps running at the same time, I think that 4gb are enough, even on Win10.
What do you think about it?
