Hi, I never looked at these figures. I need a working machine, and
for the work I need some programs, like GIMP, some browsers, some
editors, FTP client, and more.

What is OBS?

I do not run a normal PC, I have EDP at the edge of the possible,
that is MILLIONS of files on a HDD. I do text works and the archived
files are the base of my work.

Hi
Everything is there, gimp gedit kate kwrite gftp firefox etc The only
real lockdown is multimedia for which adding fluendo codecs brings
everything back to life with totem and firefox :)

I built medit on the OBS (OBS is openSUSE Build service) as I like to
edit and have a terminal available, although I also use tilda (quake
like terminal, drops down on a keypress)
