But it's possible with almost zero ram, like 32mb, but it'll be a very slow experience

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.de 10 points 9 months ago

Yeah. That should work, but it will be slow as hell, since stuff has to be split up into 32mb blocks to be executed.

OpenWRT users beg to differ... kinda. 32mb is now very low and barely sufficient, but not that long ago it was just enough to run Linux

And that's without any swap! Because guess what, flash size is even lower with only 4MB!

[-] potentiallynotfelix@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago

Yeah 32mb will suck but with swap space it'll be usable
