iot version of windows using 4gb of ram on startup?!?! Oh fu... Looking at antix linux ram consumption and wiping sweat from forehead

Windows online for 2 days and 15 hours without crashing or having to reboot for an update.
Clearly Photoshop'd. 🤣
I hate windows as much as the next linux user but I have to admit windows has been very stable for me despite having uptimes in the months with my work laptop.
Your preaching to the wrong crowd.
No Linux user is gonna go "perhaps your right, I should switch to windows for its stability"
You've had your work laptop run well for a few months with your on off daily usage. I'm sure there's many ppl here with various distros running for years without a single reboot.
Personally I have one running as a mediaserver that hasn't been offline in two years, and I'm sure that that's young in this forum.
I don't expect anyone to switch to windows, I'm just saying this myth about windows being unstable does not align with my experiences at all. I haven't even seen a blue screen since windows 7. All the weird behavior I encountered was fixed by replacing hardware, and without reinstalling windows. Sure, linux might run even longer without rebooting, but saying windows can't go past 2 days is just a gross exaggeration.
I literally turned on my work laptop yesterday and it blue screened on boot. (Win10). Didn't even get an uptime of 5 minutes. Its not a myth that windows is unstable (in comparison with Linux and macOS).
And B. Take a joke, clearly my initial post is taking the piss. Windows is less stable than Linux, simply a fact. Hence the comment so people can have a laugh.
My jellyfin server is on windows 11. It is stable for now. The day it crashes i will switch to linux.

proudly showing off that GT1030
Right? I might have an old GTX970 I could part with if old boy here wants a drastic upgrade.
😄 I just got a GTX 980 out of pity for free from a friend 🥳 first time 4k60Hz gaming in my live, lol
Now I just need to get wine/proton working. Steam titles already work 😍 but I have not get bottles (installed using yay) to work yet.
gtx 980 gang! I got mine free my from the dad of my ex back in like 2019
🥳have you tried Wayland with it? (Running Arch GNOME with proprietary drivers, but mostly Xorg due to gaming)
I have a little bit, but due to gaming I stick with Xorg. also I just use i3wm nowadays which helps me get better performance in some games
Any idea why that would be? I mean RAM limitations could be the issue but otherwise im pretty confused as to why this might happen.
I have no clue. I've been wondering the same thing, since I have 16gb ram so ram shouldn't be the issue
Hmm with modern games like BG3 you might run into some limitations with 16GB. Online I'm reading that BG3 uses 25GB of RAM. Might be that the few MB a DE uses are just enough to kick something important into the swap file or something.
I don't think that's it, I just checked out and the game only takes around 25-26% ram and it was running reasonably well with 4,5gb ram already taken. that 25gb ram sounds like someone is playing the game with 4k graphics or something. bg 3 lists only 8gb ram as mimimum requirement and 16gb is recommended
edit: I don't know if gnome takes up some grpahics card or cpu resources which affect the game performance since it's a lot bigger program than i3wm
I see, then it shouldn't be the RAM.
I've used gnome on a relatively new machine and it seemed like it was working fine. Maybe I just didn't notice the performance hit, or maybe it's the same with KDE. Definitely odd though.
yeah it's quite odd. but at least I want to use i3wm anyways so it doesnt really matter
I see 😄 I’ll remember that, if I have a game comming to it’s limit
baldur's gate 3 was really unstable with gnome for me, and the fps was like half of what it's supposed to be. but with i3 I get decent fps and it's really stable! I'm not that sure about other games because I havent been paying attention to the fps but I feel the performance is generally better. no other game has shown that drastic change though :D
Nice! I’m more the retro gamer😄 I love being finally able to play wii/GC upscaled to 4k 😁
Right now, I’m fighting with old windows games on iso to get them running (have tried with bottles and lutris without success) now I learned that one can run exe using steam, let’s see if I play rubiks games tonight 😂
Considering that it says Windows for IoT Enterprise I don't think he only needs a GPU for video output.
Delete this!
I'm not completely convinced that isn't Nick Offerman in a wig.
+1 for using LTSC with MAS activation. It’s about the only acceptable way to run windows at home, other than doing the same thing but in an isolated VM.
I mean... The kernel is called NT, not Windows, but okay
Which would make it GNU/NT…
What did you call me?
GNU'nt
Absolute GNU'NT
This deserves a ban imo
