I was kind of humbled to see how much less ressources Debian was using.
It needed one GB of memory after install in full memory.

Meanwhile Canonical

While Ubuntu recommends 6GB, it still uses much less than that even if you open Chrome lol

If you enable zswap, you could probably live with 4GB

I run Debian on 6GBs. Before that, Windows 10 was close to unusable, but in all fairness I had it on an HDD while Debian is running off a by now two years old SSD.
