Fedora and Arch both work pretty well on 4gb. Plasma and Gnome were surprisingly decent, and xfce was great but a little uglier. Blender, FreeCad, Minecraft (with performance mods), Celeste, for example all worked perfectly fine, with maybe a few browser tabs in the background as well. You couldn’t do anything too heavy, but it was pretty usable (I was using it as a travel laptop mostly). I’d say 2gb is where it becomes too little to live with.
I got a HDD very recently for a backup drive for my server and I’m very happy with that decision. 8 tb, lightly used but an enterprise drive, for $100.
It is pretty insane how dense storage can get. Some companies have showcased 4tb micro SD cards and you can buy a 2tb one right now.
Modern AAA games above 1440p and high settings usually can use that much VRAM.
8gb of ram is also not enough for anything particularly heavy.
The demo scene is still around, although it’s maybe less popular. That was a demo scene thing, not a commercial game.
Also, iirc, it was very heavy on performance for the time because the procedural textures were so expensive.
Desmos scientific calculator isn’t open source but it is what I end up using most of the time. It just does float stuff though, it can’t handle something like (10100+1)-10100
It also doesn’t support nearly as many features as the graphing calculator does, for some reason. But it formats everything very nicely and you can copy and paste as latex
I agree, you can use an old desktop, laptop, or if you don’t have something I had good luck with the local university surplus store.
Just scoot forwards a bit?
That’s interesting, I can see both circles but my hand does always go to my right eye unless I force myself to look at the other. That makes sense I guess because my right eye is more focused at a distance. I wonder if that switches though when I look at something close up for a while, because my left eye is more focused then.
I’m kind of weird I think in that I can focus further away than something I’m looking at, but I can’t focus closer than something I’m looking at. At the same time though I can cross my eyes to converge closer, but can’t push them apart to converge further away.
The UI looks the same lol
The layers are the big thing, but its hard to show because the final result looks the same anyways
I have this chromebook that has some weird keyboard setup where depending on the keys you’re trying to press you might be able to press 7 or you might just be able to press two out of the three. IIRC your scenario probably would have worked fine, I think they probably gave it better abilities in that area of the keyboard.
Anyways, there’s always autohotkey for setting up macros
