<div dir="ltr">I have questions about the machine I'm going to be using to update this section of the page, and how it'll be labeled. It's an Optiplex 3010, core i5, 4 GB RAM. It will be running Xubuntu 19.10 with KDE, TWM, IceWM installed. The memory footprint section currently lists an OpenSUSE 11.4 notebook. Do you want me to just label this as an Ubuntu Dell 19.10 desktop?<div>Thanks.</div><div>RD</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Jul 26, 2019 at 9:09 AM André Miranda <<a href="mailto:andre42m@gmail.com">andre42m@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Most of the references make sense to me, let me go one by one:</div><div class="gmail-m_6614911491826969614gmail-li">Runlevel 3 : I think it's a good baseline, no Xorg running, just the kernel and background services.</div><div>Login screen : makes sense to check how much the display manager and Xorg consume.</div><div>TWM session : its last release was in 2018, so not completely obsolete.</div><div class="gmail-m_6614911491826969614gmail-li">IceWM session : still maintained, but I would prefer i3 since it's more popular (I know IceWM is not tiling).</div><div class="gmail-m_6614911491826969614gmail-li">Xfce : Here we could first check the footprint of 4.12 and then after the release check 4.14.<br></div><div class="gmail-m_6614911491826969614gmail-li">KDE : See below.</div><div class="gmail-m_6614911491826969614gmail-li"><br></div><div class="gmail-m_6614911491826969614gmail-li">With the exception of KDE, I expect Xfce to be the one with the bigger memory footprint, so comparing with other more featured DEs (Mate, Cinnamon, Gnome, etc) makes more sense.</div><div class="gmail-m_6614911491826969614gmail-li">For starters I guess we can skip testing with DEs not present in this page.
