gollark: I make up for the low RAM by using zswap, which holds some RAM contents... in RAM... but compressed.
gollark: It might be a combination of low RAM and bad CPU/GPU really.

gollark: ~100 mods or so, which most people should be able to handle okay.
gollark: Who are you, and I would prefer a smaller one.
