It's way easier for me to add more ram than it is to change my tab hoarding habits

    Well, yes. This distinction is only meaningful now on really old hardware where upgrading RAM or replacing the machine is not an option (maybe it has some other critical bit of hardware or, more likely, it's a hobby project and the owner just wants to keep using it as long as possible for fun and satisfaction)

    The difference between the minimal RAM usage of a lightweight Linux installation and a Windows installation is the cost of less than Β£50 of modern RAM, never mind whatever old stuff is needed for an older machine.
