can you survive with it?64GB? not really possible, only Windows 7 would fit and you still get problem with RAM if you have 16GB or more (Windows likes to create a file the size of your RAM into HDD/SSD)128GB? very uncomfortable but Windows 10 + RAM swaps do fit into it. And since no new Windows 10 release appears anymore, it wont update the whole OS by making first a copy of your old OS (requires 32GB of extra space altough exact numbers are hard to say)256GB? we are getting close here, everything except a collection of STEAM games should fit unless your are a 3D modeler or something and requires hundreds of gigabytes for 3D Studio MAX prop files.512GB? I think this is the sweet spot, for normal generalized computer usage with Windows 10. Generalized means a compromise being in between of a 3D modeler business user and a gamer at home.Larger than 512GB cannot be considered "small capacity" SSD.Would Linux be different from Windows 10 world in terms of size?
my laptop which i recently used for over a month every day i'm only using maybe 20G of space total, running linux
>>106764886that's because linux is bare bones. do you even have a job?
>>106764861My new laptop has a 16GB emmc.After installing Linux mint I had 4 GB of free space. The hardware is buggy so I had to go and buy a usb flash drive. Now it doesn't freeze every 5 minutes.
>>106764904how much space do you think is needed to run a web browser, email client, and office suite?
My complete windows 10 install (with office and adobe suite and media players, direct x etc) is less than 20gb
>>106764959you must count in your hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys, both are 16GB if you have 16GB of RAMon the other hand if you have 4GB of RAM (not possible today?) those files would be also 4GB
>>106764886bullshit, unless you are a normie that does nothing with his pc outside browsing internet, if you program most dependencies will download garbage and fill it in no time
>>106765008I don't need it, I run that whole install in ram also
DEI coders and jeets have bloated the size of modern so much its infuriating
You can but it's stupid because you need free space for wear leveling. You can run with a 64gb ssd but if it only has 10gb free it'll wear out fast and die
>>106765235>ssdMr Fancy Pants over here
>>106764861>>106764886I need space for porn and memes
>>106765226Linux suffers from bloating more than windows ironically I installed a desktop environment. I think it was xfce and it downloaded a shitload of bloat, when I saw it installing python shitscripts I shut down the vm and deleted the image, it's shit
>>106765259what's your definition of bloat?it's possible to run a distro with xfce and use less than 1GiB of storage
>>106765346You need a display server which takes up most space
ReadyBoost
>>106764861The ideal srtup is HDD raid1 with a ssd cache on top through lvm-cache. Ssd should be an enterprise ssd since lvm-cache sucks with trim and for safety I would use write-through mode so if the ssd dies the data persists. This setup gives you the best reliability and price/performance in a home PC (only works on linux).
>>106765062most normies do nothing with their computer except browse the internetif you give your grandma an antix installation with an icon to open a web browser and watch youtube she won't feel any difference
>>106764861Sounds naive but is there even any actual benefit of having nvme or ssd aside from being faster in pretty much everything? My laptop (2019 model) is equipped with 1tb nvme and 1tb hdd, the only thing that I put in my nvme is adobe software like photoshop and premier; I put the rest of my files in hdd, so right now I have like 700ish gb space in my nvme
>>106765438I mean it uses less power than an HDD but what do you think the point of storage is other than to load thingsfuck swap
>>106765438It's painful to use a spinning drive. Using a USB flash drive is 10x faster than an old school HDD. You can run the benchmark yourself. If you use windows get CrystalDiskMark and on linux use Kdiskmark (NOT a kde app)
1TiB SSD costs like $50 and it lasts way longer.Even if you only use 100GB of it, it's better than a small one, because then your SSD is free to avoid write amplification.
>>106765980I don't have a Sata or Nvme slot. None whatsoever.
