I guess if you’re running 32-bit, but in 64-bit land the word size is double so it’ll barebones run on double the 32-bit system (at minimum). Once you open a modern browser, it opens like 6 tabs (with a blank tab); there are background tabs. Pictures and active media consume a large amount of bandwidth and memory, which is a con against the modern web. I guess we should go back to BBSs.
I also don’t run “corporate garbage.” I use FOSS exclusively. But Windows, and its svchost’d jobs, eats over 2GiB ram idling.
