I'm sorry if I come across as "fanboi" or "fangurl" for Linux.
But I joined another technical forum where someone was going on and on about being part of a development project where he needed to run multiple instances of Firefox, as many as 15 tabs and even though he had 16GB RAM, his computer couldn't keep up.
But it's not related to someone else on a different forum I belong to, who was banned for insulting other people, only because he didn't like the proposal given to him to shut down his computer even for a little while and take it easy with his equipment. Because he had it on for many days at a time and he kept complaining about how KDE Plasma bogged down in performance. His computer was running quite hot too, and it wasn't set up correctly to use a "swap" file or partition.
Some of you guys are rich and could keep your equipment on all day and for months and years. But I cannot.
I have tried to, so I could go further with the calculations for the most interesting 19-digit prime numbers, was trying to look for a palindrome LOL. I wrote a QB64 program that waited a predetermined amount of time before launching another program. I made sure this calculation program would take no more than ten minutes to finish its duty, processing a thousand values or so. I had this program then being started every ten minutes by the other program. Because I didn't like the function in Windows to do that, too complicated to set up. I had this going for about two weeks before I believed I was causing damage to my equipment. A few months later its monitor was punched from inside, still trying to figure out how it happened precisely and had to send it for repair. Had to wait the whole Christmas and New Year's 2022 and more to get it back.
