A PC hobbyist took to Reddit to show off their latest haul from a trip to the landfill, and it shows just how wasteful we continue to be despite high prices.

4gb is what I have. That’s plenty for linux.

It works, and even windows “ran”, but it started to swap like mad if you opened too many browser tabs, even on Linux.

But it is technically enough.

I have 25 tabs open on Ungoogled Chromium w/the Sway window manager, without struggle, and a few other workspaces and browsers going. But Sway may be making the difference. I think things like Gnome and KDE can be a bit heavy.

Sway definitely helps, gnome was very heavy. But I can’t give sway to a Linux noob…
