I feel like I’ve been gaslit into running FOSS but every success only brings me closer to fighting god

    Xubuntu is still too heavy, you have to strip it further and go for Lubuntu. Nothing like a 400 MB idle memory load on the desktop

      My xubuntu is at 380MB idling on the desktop. Also, thanks for making me check. I should probably disable snapd.

        I’ve had sub 200s with Lubuntu before

          No doubt, indeed. Just pointing out 400 is not unreasonable for xfce.

      I’ve run cinnamon on some pretty anemic systems and it was quite snappy. But I’d also been able to upgrade the memory so if it’s not upgradabe that may not be as good

      Agreed. Additionally, Lubutnu felt a lot more responsive than Linux Lite (XFCE Ubuntu based distro)
