Linux, on the other hand, can easily boot up on a 10-year-old laptop with just 2GB of RAM, and work fine.

I'm not sure a modern day browser would be just fine with "only" 2GiB, unfortunately.

I have 3GB of RAM on my PC running Linux Mint, using LibreWolf, it works pretty great for me, I mean I can't open 100 tabs, but 10-15 is possible

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
