I saw this post and asked myself this:<p>Why can't modern Linux even run graphical installers on 384 MB of RAM? See: <a href="https://x.com/_vkaku/status/1721347077169696804?s=46" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://x.com/_vkaku/status/1721347077169696804?s=46</a><p>I tried installing Bookworm 12.2 / i686 and the installer ran in low memory mode. See full requirements here: <a href="https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch02s05.en.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch02s05.en.html</a><p>What has caused Linux memory usage to go up so much in the last decade? A decade back I could run Puppy Linux in RAM so well.
