I've tried 4GB machines with linux, with Windows 10, with android, and
if you go beyond a dozen tabs or a day's browsing you slow to a crawl.
It's not a processor issue, it's a memory issue.
Counterpoint: it's not a memory issue, it's a user issue.
If anyone here has had a better experience on 4GB I'd be interested in a description.
Literally everyone does - I've had and still have thousands of users
with 4Gb (or less) RAM machines doing actual work all day long.
If a random user rocks up and tells me in all seriousness that their
casual daily web browsing habits with just a few tabs open is too much
for their standard computer - which everyone else is doing much more
than that on without the same problems - then I'd start trying to figure
out what that user is doing so differently. Because it's definitely you
I'm afraid.
Please note I don't doubt you for a second, that would seem a bit
unfair! I'd take you at face value but there must be something that
you're doing very differently to everyone else. Any ideas? Are you
streaming a lot of content or keeping multiple in-browser games or video
tabs open? 600 page PDFs in the built-in reader?
Maybe something else - what browsers are causing this? Do you install
specific plugins or extensions or do anything else non-standard? The
answer is in your habits or working methods because all things being
equal and taking the opportunity to dust off an old meme:
