Likewise, how on earth do you manage to make Linux use 1GB of RAM without running Java or some sort of large, memory optimised database?

- pjmlp 10y agoJavaScript, QML and Go.
- mrmondo 10y agoTotally agree with JavaScript, it's the new Java except that it's lowered the bar to people that otherwise couldn't write 'applications', which while thats great for learners and education - it means that you tend to get people that are great designers and good at product branding pushing poorly engineered software. Go however, in my experience tends to be very fast and lightweight. I don't know anything about QML so won't comment.
- pjmlp 10y agoQML is something like XAML for UI design, but it is based on JavaScript. You can write a full application in QML if the built in widgets are good enough.
- Arnt 10y agoTwenty years ago we linuxheads poked fun at Irix for starting 36 daemons on a singleuser workstation. Or was it 43? Whatever the number, I guess ubuntu has caught up.
- mrmondo 10y agoSir, I approve of your comment :) Ubuntu is the one distro that I wouldn't want to run on my phone, but I'd love a functioning Linux phone that's well setup and maintained, I think the real kicker for me would be able to plug it into a simple dock when I get to work and have my full desktop OS running, but first we need a distro that's more... shall we say 'sensible' or 'tested' taking on that task I think. I wonder if it has block level encryption and SELinux enabled? I'd hope so.
