[UFO Chicago] Wayland, Fedora 42 and memory needs

[Brian Sobolak]

Hola everyone -- it's been awhile :-)

I recently came into an older PC that I've repurposed for a Fedora 42 
workstation.  My issue is that the UI is pretty slow.  It's a Dell 
Optiplex 780 -- which is probably 10+ years old -- and only has 4gb of RAM.

My question is -- is it worth the $30 to try and upgrade the memory, or 
is Wayland likely to be slow on 8gb?

I realize I can also switch window managers (probably Cinnamon?) but was 
enjoying Wayland.  Thoughts?
