This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

So, the usable memory is 6GB, which is low even for Linux.

Most Linux distros recommend (not minimum) 4GB of RAM on their system requirements pages. I'm running Debian on a laptop with 4GB and it's perfectly usable. You might want to try a different distro if it's struggling with 6GB.

IMO, you can totally run a Linux desktop on 4 GB RAM, but a webbrowser on top of any OS? That's going to become a pain in the ass.
