From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

adhd. I'm considering making at alert for when my browser uses so much tabs that I'm almost out of RAM
Just install the Auto Tab Discard extension. After a certain amount of time it will replace your loaded tab with a (RAM-free) placeholder that reloads when you click it again. Me, my ADHD brain, and my 500 tabs can be at peace now.
When the tabs use too much RAM I just pkill waterfox and restart it, so the tabs are still there but not loaded, I assume it would to the same ?
The only way to keep my ADHD at bay when I'm on the computer is to be radical with my tabs. Don't need it in the next hour? That's definitely a bookmark, not a tab. I configured my browser to not save tabs between sessions so I always start clean. I'd long be dead otherwise, suffocated by my own browser tabs.
Same here... I need my browser session to be new each time. I'll get thrown off if I forget that I had my browser open when I rebooted my PC or something, so it "restores" my session... I'm like what the fuck is this mess? Give me my blank page!
