What's the difference between all of the Linuxes when it all runs on the same kernel and uses the same amount of ram in the TTY and uses the same programs?
>>

nta
The difference is pretty massive, you can get Alpine to run off as small as double-digit amounts of packages.
Every distro chooses different packages/programs all with their own RAM needs, Alpine just happens to need the least. If you pick a lean WM you could probably get away with like 256MiB of RAM.

Does the sun require a reason to rise in the morning?
Does it require your permission to set?

It's the cost of security and compatibility. Windows XP even drew scrollbars in kernel space. This is why the OS was so responsive, but had poor security

>>109885081
nta but it's not about ruining the other anon's reputation, it's about not getting yelled for the other anon's stupid opinion

You'd be surprised how many cash registers are running some shitty 20 year old Womdows system.

The practical answer is that anon replied to an anon who had replied to another anon and did not want to be confused with the first person who commented. nta btw
