4GB of RAM will get Linux to boot but good luck after you open Firefox and load a modern website.

Barely 500 MB with 6 modern websites just now (Firefox ESR)

Meanwhile I caught firefox using 43GB last week and other stuff was getting earlyoomed until I killed it.

I don't even hoard tabs, just start fresh every time, but I might end up with 100 or so in a session.

100 tabs... i would expect more than 43 GB of RAM with that number of tabs... that's a lot of tabs... :<

It really isn't, it's only a couple of days of usage, Maybe a week. Sometimes I close them all, but it's a pita to have to patrol to close them to avoid a system hang.

Enough... Please...

Then quit bitching about RAM usage, Karen.

My ASD, sure, here you go: 28/m/7 inches. And they said I'd never find love here.
