Awhile ago I extended my 2011 MacBook Air's life by putting Linux on it, first ElementaryOS and now Garuda. The limitation has always been how much heavier the browser gets as well as the sites it has to render. I thought that it would be CPU that maxed out on this staying a practical computer as videos need more and more number crunching and so do those websites. It seems that even with 4 GB of RAM it will be the memory shortage that finally does it in. Specifically YouTube sites are just becoming too memory hungry, not that their load and non-video site performance is great either though. #linux #GarudaLinux #youtube

I upgraded my laptop from early 2015 from 8gb of RAM to 24. It runs really well now.
