I was thinking about MS-DOS and NT 3.51/4.0. But yeah, Windows 9X was terrible in this regard. I never liked it.

The most important part: > Last week it was exactly 2000 days (5.5 years) since I have taken over MPC-HC development, so a good time to finally make the bump to version 2.0.0.0. Donations are appreciated. In the past years just 2 people

It's funny in 2004 he mentioned that filesystem and registry are a mess. In Windows 11 they are an absolute mess. Thousands upon thousands of files/directories scattered all around the system.

I used it briefly over two decades ago and I stopped for one single reason: it requires screen estate, it's an actual window. Meanwhile my task bar is visible at all times.

IF you find a way to reproduce this issue on another device or using any online service (I've tried two and both said it looked perfect), I'll check it out. Actually you're the only user to report it.

I've tested it in Firefox development mode using Samsung Galaxy S20 as a mobile device and it looked fine. Google Mobile Tester doesn't report any issues either: https://search.google.com/test/mobile-friendly&

My hardware often works literally for over a decade. If being frugal and taking care of your devices is "antiproductive" for you, I'm a little bit concerned but it's up to you anyways. Maybe you live in a 1st world count

BTC donation button was posted for two years - zero people donated. And if we're talking about hard cash, nothing for Russia works nowadays AFAIK. Patreon certainly doesn't work: https://support.patreon.com/hc&#x2F

I completely flushed system buffers prior to getting the results (echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches), so the free RAM that I posted is indeed absolutely free yet it cannot be reused.

I cannot imagine my life without systray, sorry. At the moment I have a metric ton of apps in it (I use pretty much all of them): * System Volume * CPU/Wi-Fi module temperatures * Clipboard manager * Screenshot manager * Ingress/E

That's `free` -> `used`, not RSS for individual processes. You can download the source images which include `top` output if you're interested.

Fedora results are somewhat bloated given the presence of packagekitd but since all the spins run it, you can still make valid conclusions.

If we go down this route no comparison will ever be "valid". That's why this is strictly for Fedora 37 as of December 11th, 2022. :-) If you have your own distro resuts to share, I will happily add them to the article.

LMAO. Yeah, an average HTML page nowadays without graphics and built-in fonts is easily above 500KB considering all the embedded JS and CSS.

True so yet all of them have the same/similar background services/daemons/applications, so the comparison is still valid though it will be distro-specific. I cannot physically test all the distros and their permutations, and

"Fedora" is mentioned prominently in the comparison. Not sure if I could do more :-) Could you show the top output for your distros? I wonder why there's such a huge discrepancy.

Delphi produced quite bloated code. I remember a default Delphi application with 0 lines of actual code showing nothing but an empty screen compiled into something like 300KB circa 2000 all thanks to VCL while its pure C Win32 counterpart c

Considering we have many dozens of distros and ten of thousands of their permutations (different "spins", desktop environments, etc.) this test is always going to be distro specific. I chose Fedora because of its freshness, proxim

Thanks. For those who are interested you can download the source images at the bottom of the article. People have been questioning applications/services/daemons running in background for each DE - you can check that.

Comparable results though everything in FreeBSD is like a gig more for some reasons.

I've run this website for a over a decade and looks like donations are just not a thing. People happily click Google ads though so at least there's something. Something which garners around $50 a ... year.
