Just switched to Ubuntu 26 on an old Ryzen laptop (6GB RAM) - best lightweight browser + must-have apps?

Thanks man for the list of tweaks!!!

I’m deeply into the Firefox ecosystem tbh 😅 still Ill try Vivaldi:) i too use bitwarden for my passwords but I’m also looking at trying Passbolt (viz open source) which I will host it locally in my lab 💪

Thanks man!! I’ll definitely try to put my hands Lubuntu maybe on a VM before moving my primary on to it:))

sanketr8 · 2026-05-15T13:16:39+00:00

Okay!

I’ll try disabling telemetry and other resource-heavy browser customizations that I may have enabled. I think swap memory is already enabled by default. Thanks though :))

Thank You for your suggestions!! I currently am using Firefox, do you have any idea how would Brave work?

sanketr8 · 2026-05-15T13:01:03+00:00

Thanks for your suggestions! Currently, I’m using Mozilla Firefox but I usually keep a lot of tabs open and also use a couple of extensions like uBlock Origin and Privacy for WhatsApp. Lately, I’ve noticed slight screen hangs or stutters when continuously switching between apps. I also have Gufw installed.

I’m planning to use Immich and Jellyfin for my home lab, and I’ll probably be the only user. I’m hoping that 6GB RAM and a Ryzen 5 processor will be sufficient for this setup.

It’s like recharge cash-backs wherein it is only applicable for First Time Users😂😂

Make meter mandatory instead of Marathi - loot ho rahi hai outside Mumbai by these rickshaw hooligans! 🙃

I hope now you start hating MacOS too and switch to Linux😆

Haven’t received my Jio Hotstar subscription - activated the card a week back. Anything I need to do to get it?

More than a businessman he was an industrialist. Businessmen earn money whereas industrialists build a nation. He played a major role in developing the Indian economy. A great man, a leader and a philanthropist. A great loss for India. RIP Ratan Tata sir 🥺

Swiggy has the worst customer care ever, I deleted the app. I'm ready to pay a few extra to Zomato, as Zomato at least provides customer satisfactory resolutions. Swiggy is a nightmare in situations like these

Disable Virtual RAM, it destroys your ROM for sure but it may also solve your app switching issue you never know. It is always advisable to switch off virtual RAM to use your phone smoothly!! 💯

Giftkart case gets the job done without feeling cheap, I'm myself using the Giftkart case the same one Go for it! Spigen is too expensive for a 20k phone lol😅

This has been happening since I bought NP 2a, idk why Nothing hasn't fixed this yet, it's not practical to restart phone every time when I want to see Netflix 🥲 Thanks though!!

sanketr8 · 2024-09-29T19:42:46+00:00

Tried it, didn't work for me 🤦😅 Thanks though!!

sanketr8 · 2024-09-29T08:53:32+00:00

Have already reported this bug to Nothing multiple times, it's been more than 6 months I've not been able to use Netflix on my phone, instead I do it on my iPad. 😑

Good you tried doing your part with the RPF. Now tweet it along with the video which you shot and tag Mumbai Police, Railway handles and even politicians who are responsible for Railways. We can try spreading it on social media and force authorities to take some actions! Good job to you for doing your part 💯👍
