      I’m using Linux on all my pc. The ram problems exist here too. Firefox is taking the most, the slack app is taking a big chunk too. Linux is not exempt from badly written code, it’s everywhere and nobody seems to care about optimizing their code’s memory usage anymore.

        I would be interested in seeing how you have it set up that firefox or linux are using any substantial amount of ram. That wouldn’t have anything to do with ‘badly written code’.

      I will once Nvidia gets off their asses and properly implements support for the Nvidia App in Linux. I’ve tried the alternative control panels for Nvidia GPUs. They suck.

        Correct! The difference is the OS.

        Windows is a ram hog. Using 4GB or more just to exist. Linux uses 1-2GB, sometimes less.

        Microsoft FORCES electron web components.

        Linux has choice.

        So yes, linux has electron as well, but Linux is a lot lighter and nowhere near a hog like windows.
