| [ GIMP crashes under Raspberry Pi OS ]
Last I checked, ordinary Raspbian was 32-bit only. If Gimp's memory use is within a single processs, it is limited to about 2 or 3G (I don't remember which) of your 8G.
Switching to a 64-bit OS would let Gimp use most of your 8G.
As for crashing: do you know what kind of crash is happening? Is it worth reporting?
Thanks. My only data point was that GIMP hadn't been crashing under I386 Debian. Next time I'll submit a crash report; it's the right thing to do. I guess the 4GB system will get random use as a wandering client. I already have a Pi3 running nginx as a local web server. The appeal is the slightly lower power requirement.
