Norm MikotoDevs should really grab an old netbook from ebay with an atom cpu and 1-2GB of ram and see how well their new React app works on that
stilescrisis@mikoto I bought a 2GB RAM/16GB SSD Intel Atom mini-PC long ago, back when Windows 10 was new. It swapped constantly and was unusable for _any_ purpose. I tried switching it to ChromeOS and it was slightly better, but still barely usable. 2GB is just not a realistic config anymore.
@stilescrisis browser devs also need to optimize too
How an Atom PC can run XP with Office 2003 (or even Debian with Libreoffice) fine but not a modern OS is really more of a sign how bloated everything has gotten more than anything.

@stilescrisis Mine has Debian on it and really the only thing that holds it back from being daily driveable is the web browser and web apps, the daily productivity stuff works fine otherwise
@mikoto That's not surprising; a browser is far more complex than a single-purpose app. A modern browser is basically a cross-platform VM with a standardized layout language baked in.
