That looks more like ARC problem, it can hold a large index of the filesystem if you give it enough room in ram, avoiding the need to seek thousands of files on a spinning disk, which takes time. HDDs are fine for sequential operations, Random IO, which is your usecase, is their biggest weakness.

As Lawrence said: "It's not ram intensive, it's ram efficient."
It doesn't let ram sit there unused. So you only really need 1G of ram per 1T of storage in general, outside some very rare cases. But the more ram you throw at it, the more snappy it becomes, but there are some diminishing returns. For example, 128G of ram on a 20T array won't be fully utilized most of the time.
L2Arc raises ram requirements, because you also need to store it's index there.

Well, I don't want to sound like I'm victim-blaming, but I find it essential to research anything more significant than a pencil before purchase, not just premium (price-wise) phones.
In an ideal world you could trust marketing, but we don't live in that world, so even soviet monopoly marketing that didn't need to lie (or exist, because monopoly) did oversell it's products.
So I try to promote the idea of "lurk before you buy" any chance I get.

I don't know who expexts it to be daily driver. You only need to spend like 15 minutes lurking, which seems reasons for a $1k purchase.
Purism markets it as the phone they aim for it to be, not the phone it is right now. Which is misleading, but in several years I hope it won't be anymore.
To be fair, I daily drive it. It just isn't my main device, I have an /e/os FP4 doing the heavy lifting an L5 doing /some/ stuff. And I charge L5 3 times as often as FP. But it's getting better.

If you want to get it semi-quickly, you buy USA edition. I preordered Standard edition in 2019, got it this May. Software state is "fun to tinker with, but if you give this to a normie they will probably kill themselves in a matter of minutes."
There also still is some software essential to my workflow that doesn't fit on the phone screen, so I needed a dock to set it up with external display, mouse and keyboard.
RN it's a toy and a devkit, not an end-user product.

Yes. I think it either works or is discussed to make signing to Lemmy with Mastodon account work, but not the other way around.
Lemmy is pretty young I think, so its client app base will grow over time.
@cnnrduncan I mean that I am able to consume lemmy content like this post and to interact with it like my replies. Personal interface preferrence is irrelevant, anyone is free to use anything they like.

You pretty much just look under your feet usually. Globally they get dumped in bulk on ebay, local platforms for p2p sales of used stuff also have them in most of the world.
