4gb of ram for Cinnamon

[patent plaza]

Is it possible to use the Cinnamon version of Linux mint with only 4 gigs of ram?

[digital current]

@patent plaza yes

[glass oyster]

What do you know, it's even possible to run it with 4 gigs of ram on Intel Celeron

Do you think everything will run properly with just 4 gigs of ram?

I mean I have a 4gb ram laptop, I don't want anything to fail

doesn't hurt to test

if not you can just replace it with xfce or something lighter

should be generally fine

it's extremely OK

I am running on 4 gigs, works pretty smoothly, can run vsc, chrome, discord (high memory consuming apps) efficiently

Thanks for letting me know

I was kind of worried because I thought I might have to use XFC instead

[digital current]

Make a ventoy usb with both mint xfce and cinnamon and test out

[patent plaza]

Heya, update on this though

If Cinnamon isn't like smooth on this computer, then i'll probably use Mate if anything goes wrong

I really appreciate your guys help!

Or xfce

I'm running Mint Xfce on a 2007 Dell D830. Two cores and 4Gb RAM. It's okay for low demand uses.

just fyi, it's possible to really jazz up xfce to a whole new world of style with Twister UI, a thing you add to it later, that gives you something like 6 different looks of style. Also you can get Chicago Fire (Fier?) which gives an amazing Windows 95 classic look to xfce.

but on topic, if this person can do this:
