cysec is huge. it depends. there are shitloads of different directions. right now im in GRC - shit sucks. all day every day im wasting time with policies and processes, preparing shit for audits, and once audit is over - im starting to prepare to next one. it fucking sucks. i hate it. i do nothing but paperwork 99% of time and the rest 1% of time im trying to figure-out how to unfuck yet another dumb shit that would result in deviation in a yet another audit my corp hell is applying for.
if u will be getting into cysec - at least go for something fun, like pentesting, network security, some analyst, or just generally something that is not gonna turn your day into endless paperwork treadmill.
fuck GRC.

what are my best options on openSUSE GNU/Linux+systemd to achieve functional and usable gui with lowest-possible resource consumption?
right now running it with xfce ~550mb on cold start with nothing else running. kde or gnome go 900+ cold start so a no-go area.
i have an old machine with 2c4t/4gigs and i want to set it for light shitposting and google docs - i want the os and de to take absolute lowest minimum of compute resources while still having basic desktop functionality to open a browser, listen to music, or work with files. and i kind want to go with tumbleweed for rolling memes so that i never have to touch this machine ever again.
i remember having my first pc with 256mb ram - it was able not only to run windows xp on it, but i even gaymed some things like first call of duty and vice city. now it is .5-1 gig of ram just for the os+de. disturbing.
