minus-squarecrispy_kilt@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up30·1 year ago There’s no trophy you get at the end of your life for “most cumulative ram left idle” Some people like to use more than 1 app you know. Also, RAM is never ever idle. It is used as filesystem cache when not used by programs thus speeding up read accesses significantly.
minus-squarenicoweio@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoJust to nitpick, RAM is usually not idle.
minus-squarecrispy_kilt@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoAlright, let’s nitpick! No, it is never ever idle, every few cycles is a refresh cycle, which is work.
minus-squarenicoweio@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoIt’s great that you mention this, but this is a different layer of abstraction than what we were previously talking about.
minus-squareEddoWagt@feddit.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down5·1 year agoHonestly even with more than 1 application open it shouldn’t be an issue. Maybe with a really old computer, but anything modern really should handle an electron app just fine
