Not to set off a flame war or something but I keep going back between GNOME and KDE. I am I am constantly intrigued by KDE plasma--it seems a lot more tweakable than GNOME--but a lot of my preferences are closer to the GNOME defaults. Maybe I should look into ways to make current KDE Plasma behave a bit more like GNOME, while taking advantage of its tweakability? I dunno. #DesktopLinux #Linux #KDE #GNOME #DesktopEnvironments

Modern RAM requirements just keep creeping up. But yes, more lightweight distros do exist and remain a good option if you're repurposing old hardware. https://www.tomshardware.com/software/operating-systems/ubunto-linux-raises-minimum-system-requirements-to-6gb-of-ram-it-was-previously-raised-from-1gb-to-4gb-in-2018

Ubuntu Linux raises minimum system memory requirements by 50% — requirements bumped to 6GB of RAM, previously raised from 1GB to 4GB in 2018

Not the best timing due to the RAMpocalypse, but there are leaner distros like Lubuntu available if you need them.
