The Bios/Intel-Chipset code stuff (it megabytes) is probably because of VPro,
which is a backdoor (inbuilt vnc server, ram upload, etc) the US Govt wants
in all computing devices.

I noticed recently that these days 32 inch LCD TVs are really really
lightweight.
It would be cool if there could be a 32 inch laptop. Wouldn't be heavy, the
displays are mad light. Intel GFX would be fine. Would be good for dev work
with 3d stuff.
You could even have room in the case for

malicious intentions.

is that because he is running XFCE that your recommending 1GB?
That and the fact that he wrote no gaming or graphic design and a lot of

Was the graph created for another page? I didn't realize that page was in
defence of the FSF endorsement claim. I was laughing too hard at what I
thought was another fumble. Someone else pointed me to the graph by itself
initially. It looks like it might have been used elsewhere though
It's actually irrelevant whether he's trying, because even if he tried, he'd
fail. The microcode updates are required, as is the Intel Management Engine
(read: giant backdoor), and neither of them can be replaced because they are
cryptographically signed by Intel. Both of these deficiencies
Chris, the FSF rejected Purism's proposal to have PureOS certified under the
Free System Distribution Guidelines. Ask Joshua Gay and he'll tell you.
(yes, I'm leaking this. It deserves to be put here)
Suffice it to say, PureOS contains software that isn't suitable for
endorsement by the FSF
Looks like I was right the first time around, though a bit too quick to post.
Answering my own question the graph was used on

This windows release seems particularly disturbing, or maybe I should say
that the lack of outrage and lack of interest in alternatives to windows is.
I stopped fixing my friends' windows computers when Vista came out, so maybe
I'm just naive and inexperienced.
I hope so, anyway.

True. Maybe 4GB would be OK. I think it really depends on ones comfort level

Well, right now even the minimum spec with a G3220, 4GB of ram, and a 320GB
drive performance is acceptable for most use cases. The main thing that you'd
be able to see a big difference in performance with right at this very moment

All upgrading the processor is going to do is make it run faster, and that's
not going to significantly affect longevity in terms of being able to run new
software. In fact, from my understanding, processor speeds have pretty much
stagnated in the past decade or so; speeds still go up, but
