Does someone know if there's an increase in memory usage for Gnome or if it's about the same? I am wondering if I can update an old computer with only 4GB of memory.
Running Trixie/Gnome on a machine with 4GB (3.6GB usable) w/o any trouble.
Gnome runs better than ever, the problem is in my experience usually the web browser when it comes to RAM usage. Install ZRAM and the machine should be perfectly usable, if your usage patterns are similar to mine.
(Only thing which annoys me is that I cannot find an excuse to buy a better computer, because everything simply works on the machine...)
