I have a laptop with 4 GB of RAM that I’d like to use for occasional comic book reading. (It’s a touch screen 2-in-1 laptop that folds over into a tablet configuration.) I use Bazzite on my main PC and I love how low maintenance it is. Are there any immutable/atomic distros that featue XFCE, LXDE, or some other low RAM friendly desktop? Or, should I just layer XFCE or LXDE on top of UBlue Core or make my own image or something? Thanks!
EDIT: Thanks everyone for the feedback and quality discussion! It looks like the best options for immutable have a learning curve or time commitment attached (e.g. NixOS). For a daily driver computer it might be worth the trouble to learn, but in this case I decided to just go with standard Fedora XFCE for now.
I personally am using Fedora KDE on a old chromebook with 4GB of ram but I’m thinking about switching to Fedora Kinoite. From my experience 4GB is plenty for a Linux machine as long as you aren’t using things that are ram heavy. Firefox based browsers do especially well as Firefox writes inactive tabs to disk
I can recommend universal blues base kinoite image as it includes distrobox, all video codecs and has an nvidia variant for the poor nvidia users
I don’t actually need any of that but I am thinking about using Forgejo actions to build a custom image
Yeah that would be the “cloud native” way XD
I have used Gitea actions and container registry before, it is okay.
