I still use 2 laptops, both 8 years old, with only 512MB RAM running
Jessie one is an XP dual boot one running fvwm carried over through the
various system upgrades. The other xfce.
What I usually have open are 3 terminals, LyX, 2 browsers, Iceweasel
and Chromium, then open anything else I need gedit, gimp, vlc etc., on 8
desktops.
If there are too many applications running, moving from one to the
other does tend to enter the desktop but stall a moment before the
app/s are useable.
There is a bit of a lag to shut everything down before halting and
shutting down the system.
On a 4GB lappy it shuts down everything on the desktop one after the
other instantly.
