I’m looking for a distro recommendation for development needs.
I have a 16gb ram pc and using docker and k3s to run my code, and multiple intellijs on a linux vmware vm (my host is windows) which eats a lot of ram. I tried ubuntu, Debian and xubuntu.
Most of them didn’t handle my ram consumptions, xubuntu is good but I’d like to know if there’s a better one for my needs.
I’ve got an old ThinkPad w/ 16GB RAM. My daily workflow is a combo of Emacs, a bunch of JVM languages, Make, Docker and minikube. I’ve been running openSUSE Tumbleweed for ages and am quite happy w/ its performance, package availability and being up-to-date.
