I remember bacon in 2005 or so running openbox/black box/etc. on a $1400 laptop to make sure I squeezed all the performance out of it. Ironically, over the years my requirements for a graphical UI to do things on my laptop have actually diminished (my file management is now mostly done via the command line, etc. while my care for keeping my window manager to less than 300KB of memory has completely gone away.

- chungus_khan 6y agoIt would always annoy me how I had such a beautiful, slim, and minimalist graphical UNIX system set up, but then some program would come in and load several megabytes of images it wasn't actually displaying into the X server. Megabytes matter a little less on my current 32go machine than when I had 32mo.
