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 members of the community for any reason.
  • 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.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 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. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    But it's possible with almost zero ram, like 32mb, but it'll be a very slow experience

    [–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.de 10 points 9 months ago

    Yeah. That should work, but it will be slow as hell, since stuff has to be split up into 32mb blocks to be executed.

    [–] repungnant_canary@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago (2 children)

    OpenWRT users beg to differ... kinda. 32mb is now very low and barely sufficient, but not that long ago it was just enough to run Linux

    [–] DasSkelett@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 9 months ago

    And that's without any swap! Because guess what, flash size is even lower with only 4MB!

    [–] potentiallynotfelix@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago

    Yeah 32mb will suck but with swap space it'll be usable
