a browser+IDE combo will perfectly fine even on a budget laptop with 4 cores / 8 GB RAM / generic SSD.
- dingaling 2y ago8GB isn't really sufficient anymore, unless you're obsessive about pruning browser tabs and closing one program before open another. On my just-retired 8GB T410, trying to use a filter in Gimp without closing Firefox would start thrashing and result in the infamous Linux lock-up until power-cycled. Ubuntu 22.
- 123yawaworht456 2y agowell, idk. just four years ago, I had a PC with 8 GB RAM and it was enough for firefox, CLion and a Windows 7 VM in virtualbox. I have several VMs with xubuntu 24.04, and they're doing fine with 2 cores and 3 GB RAM. but yes, I rarely have more than a dozen tabs open.
