Totally agree, today 'desktop' pretty much means 'browser' for many.
Wish someone knows how to build chromium into a light-weight mode, e.g. restrict its tab to 1 or 2 only, remove some fancy but not mandatory features, so that I can run it, e.g. with 100MB RAM.
bad news is that some website might be very resource hungry on its own, not sure what to do with that, maybe the browser can also throttle that?
- prmoustache 4y agoThis is were things like browservice comes to the rescue if you have a bigger machine available and only need more independent terminals: https://github.com/ttalvitie/browservice https://github.com/ttalvitie/browservice Also rdp/freenx/x2go/vnc can help. That doesn't make the old computer a full independent desktop but it can avoid sending a perfectly good keyboard/trackpad/monitor in the landfill. And unless you are a dev, 99% of the time you need a browser you already have network and won't point to localhost so that remote faster box can be connecred through vpn anywhere.
