     @nixCraft windows is such a ram hog. As the Linux folk say it needs to be debloated

     @nixCraft Yea except do anything on Linux 4GB ram there and performance slows to a crawl as Linux starts swapping at turtle speed.

     @nixCraft I love this meme, but I also love having a ton of ram in linux!
     I use this in my fstab and I use /tmp for all sorts of things to keep the wear low on my SSDs

     tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,nodev,nosuid,size=80% 0 0
     tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs defaults,nodev,nosuid,size=80% 0 0

     editing a huge video? use /tmp
     torrents? put'em in /tmp

     I ended up putting 64G in my last desktop build, I even have some VM storage using tmpfs
