HEY GUYS WAASSSSSUP!
I wanted to show you my results after installing this build in a low spec PC,
So you can have an idea of how light it might run on similar hardware!
I used Rufus to write the ISO to USB (UEFI Boot)
And I installed it on my Acer Swift 1 Laptop
Specs: Intel N5000 CPU - 4 GB RAM - 1080p Display
After Clean Install, 1st Boot, No Drivers Installed
After All Drivers Installed, Activated, Connected to Network / Internet
I noticed several requests for a more stripped down build than my Pro Gamer Builds, This is about as light as I care to go!
Yes, I could go lighter, but No, I won't, as I expect a certain level of functionality from my OS! - Enjoy!
OOOOH! Also, for all the questions 'How come my RAM usage is higher than What's in your screenshots?' Well, Here is your answer!:
Because my screenshots are from the OS being installed in a 2GB RAM Virtual Machine. RAM use in VM will ALWAYS be lower than physical PC installation! But since every PC has different specs, it's easier to compare how light an OS runs in VM, where the test bed is similar. Which is why most of the OS Builder's here, including myself, Prefer to post RAM use results in VM installation. The numbers you get will vary wildly in PC Installation, depending on your PC Specs.
But, that's why this post was created! To show you results in a real, physical PC installation, before, and after drivers have been installed! - CHEERS!
Oh.. and Also, you'll notice square corners before GPU Drivers are installed, and Rounded After.
For those asking? 'Can I get rounded corners back in your builds'? They will be rounded after you install your GPU Drivers.
**Also, for those who are asking about 'Virtual Memory Enabler.exe' App, and why it is detected as malicious by some AV Vendors, I assure you it's clean, the only reason it pops up on some Vendors hit list, is because it has a command to restart your PC after enabling Virtual Memory (paging file) which is a required step to complete the Virtual Memory Setup on your PC.
If you don't want to use it, you can easily enable Virtual Memory without using it. I added it to my builds that don't have Virtual Memory enabled, to make it easier for users to enable it. I was simply trying to be kind, and make things easier for users, no ill intent here. - FBConan.
