After a recent debate I had in a comment section about whether or not 2 gigs of RAM was enough for a modern workload, I started customizing to make it happen.

In my first screenshot you can see my specs in a neofetch and cpufetch output. I’m running a custom Kernel to bring my RAM usage as low as humanly possible while still maintaining support for all my hardware, I am on round 1 of kernel minimizing, only things I was 100% sure i didnt need have been removed. Round 2 will be removing things I might need but not frequently, I will be leaving a second kernel installed to access them.

GTK themes are listed because I have lxqt installed, I try my best not to use it though.

In my second screenshot you can see from left to right, top to bottom:

  1. Links with a DDG search
  2. offpunk browsing a gemlog
  3. turbo with a sample of my writing (it isn’t good, I don’t pretend to be a writer)
  4. a neofetch output
  5. discordo, called by a shell script that runs it with my bot token (self bots are against discord’s TOS, do not make them, or do idgaf its your account)

I am using the Ultima theme (https://github.com/egorlem/ultima.zsh-theme.git) for Oh-My-Zsh

Terminal frontend is Sakura but I used Terminator to customize my terminal colors as Sakura only allows you to change your Background and Foreground colors.

    Consider using Zram to compress half your ram. That will make your 2 GB into 3 GB, kinda. Do not compress all of it, performance will suffer greatly.

    Also, web browser choice is going to be crucial when it comes time to actually use the computer for anything. Try Konqueror, Falkon, Palemoon etc.
