dumBest questiion of the day: Does this take up a lot of memory?

Good question. Linux for desktop (I don't know servers) uses, by design, older equipment and those with limited memory very well. Some of the Distros (Linux and Mint) maintain older versions of the distro for those with the oldest equipment. You can say LInux uses less Memory and resources than Windows.

Mrs. Pete is on a dual boot laptop that uses Mint. She is not doing anything particularly complex but has no problems using it. Its uses Firefox for the browser and Linux equivalents to Windows Office.
