        This was suspicious back when IE became incorporated to File Explorer circa Windows 98.

        Now it’s just business.

              4 gigs should be enough for a distro. depending on how far you are willing to go you can even end up with 1 GB or less ram usage at idle. and storage shloudnt be a problem either. i had some distros that take up like 4 gig (storage, not memory)

                the linux that i downloaded was over 10 gigs storage. how were you able to find something for 4 gigs?

                  Well that’s the thing, i gave up on convenience. Basically you have to use a distro with less stuff included and add only the stuff you need.

                  You can google/bing/[whatever search engine you use] something like “lightweight/small distro”.

                  I for example am running arch. In arch you only have a terminal and have to install almost everything yourself. Like your desktop, apps, etc.

                  Now this can be a hassle but also a great learning opportunity.

                  If you want to go this route i recommend you use arch with the archinstall script at first (search youtube for arch install with script or something like that) and learn try the system. Now if you want you can try to install it the “arch way” (without script) using the arch wiki as reference (even i struggle with that even tho i’ve already done so)

                    wow… well - if my career path doesn’t work out and i’m curious about computer science? (idk what this is), i’ll look into it.
