    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.

      Hardware keeps getting kore powerful but programs aren’t really doing anything more for us. Games look pretty much the same at anything but the highest settings and a browser does the same shit it did ten years ago, but with all this hardware the devopers stopped giving a shit. “Who cares if it’s good for a 2070, a handful of 5090s exist!”

      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’.
