Devs 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

@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.

@dalias @mikoto What OS is it?

@stilescrisis @mikoto Alpine Linux.

@dalias @mikoto That's a distro that's custom designed around working on small resource-constrained hardware. I'm glad it works for you but obviously it's not appropriate for an average Joe.
