We don't really do any checking/validation of low memory configs, though, so when this changes we don't necessarily notice. openQA install tests use 2GB RAM, so we would notice if things stopped working with 2GB, but we don't test below that. Running Workstation with less than 2GB is really not gonna give you a great experience, though. If anything, I'd actually think we should update the docs to specify 2GB minimum for GNOME and KDE. Bottom line it's entirely possible this changed, but I don't think we'd treat it as a significant issue because I suspect we wouldn't really want to stand behind the experience of running Workstation or KDE in less than 2GB of RAM anyway. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-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/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
