Lets try to find once and for all, what is the most eficient OS out there.

Rules are simple:

>turn off all the heavy programs that may be running on your PC and post the SS of your screen using the least ammount of RAM and CPU
>the OS will be based on what uses the least ammount of resources while looking good at the same time.
>anons will post what is the best looking OS posted on the thread.
>by the end of the thread we decide who go points for most eficient, most eficient while looking good, and the least efficient of all (it will be the iOS, Im sure)

There you go. Lubuntu. Probably the lowest you can go. But I will not get a penny for beauty.

You have to better define shit. What is an OS? Surely someone could show an embedded OS using 512kb RAM or something.

I am assuming of course that you mean desktop OSs

You can post the terminal there using 1kb of RAM. But you a'int gotta get no points for beauty.

Also, yeah. I was talking about desktop with graphic interface.

>>55548256

Is it spelled Minux or MINIX?
>>
>>55548294
MINIX was the kernel that Linux was based on.

Never heard of Minux but I presume it is an OS not the kernel

If thats the lowest it can go, then XP wins.

How is it not? It's got images, and it's a webkit browser. Can play videos and shit no problem

BTW I think minimizing RAM usage is retarded these days anyway. Current rig uses WAY more than that one yet is way more efficient because it's so much faster overall.

awesome wm, and yes you can operate it with a mouse. The root window has a menu that comes up that's like the applications menu you'd be used to on any DE

You can resize windows by holding alt + right click dragging or move them by alt + left click dragging just like other window managers

A tab more beautiful than the Lubuntu. Still using more RAM tho.

This is what I get mad at windows.
If wasnt for games, I would have get rid of this system already.

I probably got a virus because my computer on idle uses 1.8 Gb of RAM. This is impossible.

Fuck that shit. And after they said they support Black Live Matters, I gave up.
>>
>>55548682
With a web browser running at full capacity my usage will jump to ~5-6/8GB being used but that's to be expected considering any web browser that isn't some minimalist webkit based bullshit will just eat it up. Pretty much every distro that isn't bloatbuntu usually stays consistent around 200-300MB usage on a clean boot.

It does seem like a freaking lot for that OS. It's a VM I've had for over 10 years. Fully patched via Windows Update even.

I tried running Process Explorer on Win95C, but it just borks out even after giving it the DLLs it wants.

Here's the same VM software running Windows 2000. 69MB of RAM used. SP4 fully patched.

I can not express how much I loved Windows NT4. WIndows 2000 was good to but it wasnt the same ya know. I know of a company that ran their server on Windows 2000, still.
>>
>>55549135
Opposite opinion here. I hate NT4; 2000 was loads better. My experience with NT4 was it always breaking.
>>
>>55549182
With these things I think it was very hardware dependent. I hated 95 because it was always so bad. Then in 2002 I was forced to use a 486DX4 Intel, and I have never seen Windows 95 work so well before, literally zero BSODs. And i was online with it.

I always see people posting these, but what is the name of the script that prints this stuff? or do people do it themselves?

>>55549243
screenfetch

>>55549232
Possibly. The PC I used it on was a CD duplicator. The CD drives would disappear often. The OS would usually claim it was shutdown improperly. It didn't like to let us login. It was kinda slow too, even for the okay hardware specs it was using.

I installed Win95 on plenty of 486 machines. With 64MB of RAM. It worked alright. Never had a BSOD on 95. 98/ME are a different story.
