I think I'd consider 4 gig of RAM a bare minimum, these days. As memory size has gone up, programmers seem to have abandoned trying to be efficient. If your prior install was apparently okay, you might have been just on the boundary between where things ran smoothly and were close to grinding through swap to operate. When my systems started to go through swap, usually from firefox going doolallay with some badly written site, it was usually unrecoverable. I had to quit it real quick, or I could spend the next hour trying to get the computer to do a clean shutdown. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
