@wsmwk Do we have a list of updated system requirements somewhere?

wsmwk commented 1 year ago

@MelissaAutumn I should have said, we can simply rip off Firefox's https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/102.0/system-requirements/ But I would change the disk requirement to 400MB or 500MB, from 200MB. I think the rest of Firefox list is OK.

@jfx2006, what do you think?

jfx2006 commented 1 year ago

The system requirements are part of the release notes. They get updated when new ESR's happen. Obviously I missed the whole M1 thing. I will fix that now.

As for the rest, I am not changing them except I will bump mac OS RAM minimum to 1G because.. well 512MB is not enough.

I should have stated the reason for increasing disk - 200MB much smaller than just the program size, let alone holding any data. Mac program usage is 444MB. Windows is ~225MB. Not gonna break the world, but the spec is inaccurate.
