For additional info, as it says in the commit you linked, pkgbase = is what requires 256MiB. As it says in the Reddit thread you linked, we have u= sers running FreeBSD on <100MiB of RAM, and it can be tweaked much farther than that. Desktop is just one of many third party applications which requires additio= nal RAM over the minimum. Believe it or not, embedded is a massively more popul= ar use-case than desktop. We are also supporting use-cases which really require TBs of RAM. The ZFS requirements were due to a bug in our previous ZFS implementation, which is why that recommendation was removed. I have a machine with two poo= ls and over 4TB of disks which has been running on 4GB RAM with zero problems = for a few years. Still, UFS is much simpler and thus recommended for resource constrained applications. As for the desktop recommendation, there are more than a few desktops in the wild from people who strip adverts from the web who are happy with 1Gb ram,= and there are people who video conference while doing other things and organize their browser tabs that are not happy with 16Gb ram. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
