Tbh if you run qbittorrent you can manually give it as much as you got in the settings.
learned that the swap -> oom way with deluge. It would go overboard if not contained.
Watch them disappear once you start a blender render
32 gigs is quite a bit of a show off in these trying times…
I bought 2x32 ddr4 6months ago for $160. It’s worth about twice that now! I have half a mind to resell it 😭
My unpopular opinion: free ram is useless ram. Go on, OS. Put evertyhing into ram. I have 64GB of it. Fill it the fuck up. I want to be able to open things blazingly fast, that’s why its there. The trick is leaving enough so new things can fit without waiting for cleanup. And windows isn’t bad at scaling its usage. Afaik, wIndows installation on 8GB will use less than the same installation when 16GB is available.
If you had unlimited ram, you’d be mad the OS was wasting time cleaning up behind itself.
The problem is when one of my two RAM sticks is dedicated to exclusively the microslop spyware and my games can barely run on the leftovers.
I’m playing modded Skyrim with windows, when i used to get crashes the log report almost always have the RAM usage on critical.
When installed some new mods on Linux and they start to crash i was getting “All Good” status on every single log
It’s not unpopular but only half right. Free RAM already gets used for caching, invisible to you. What you see in the task manager is reserved RAM and that one can’t be used by other applications. If all RAM is reserved, you get pagination or the OOMkiller.
dump a pregant cow next to the kitten labeled “Chromium”
yeah. I want to think Firefox is a bit better 😅
haha. I have 32GB of RAM in my server, and even though I run a LOT of stuff, it rarely gets past 4 or 5GB used
I see you don’t run electron app in flatpaks :)
Don’t forget to allocate the rest to Firefox, and your swap as well since that’s still not enough
I see what you did there.
Laughs in one year old 128GB RAM on fedora Linux.
Running AI locally?
Nope. Running a windows guest for legacy development (50GB for few bigger visual studio projects and other related apps) then Rider, Android Studio, IntelliJ, podman and other apps native on Linux, often switching between them. 128GB is a bit much even for this, but it is never bad to have same free space just in case. The only downside is that I bought 4 DDR5 modules only to later find out that they put a break on speed as AMD really prefers 2 of them.
50 GB in memory for a visual studio/programming project being a bigger project seems like rather an understatement, unless you’re working on machine learning, simulations, or something of that nature.
Between Firefox being its usual self and the 11.5gb of VRAM and GTT kwin_wayland is currently using, 32gb does not feel excessive.
elon musk inherited an emerald minefrom his father, but your child will inherit 32 full gigabytes of ram
Bold of u to assume any of us can afford kids in the first place lol. Well, at least if u wanna raise them properly.
Now launch one (1) web browser and watch an elephant drop on your sofa.
The OS is no longer relevant to memory usage, really, not in the way it used to be. The amount of memory required for a usable desktop is peanuts compared to the amount required to run a few web-apps.
One of the many reasons why we need a new and better browser without all the bloat.
I am skeptical that the browser is the problem.
Well, no, but the amount of browser-based apps due to their convinience in development is stupid.
That’s half the problem, the sites are the other.
all that ram is for my many virtual machines i planned to run and never did because i didn’t actually get any practical use out of them
Containerize everything
Unfortunately I can’t run windows 7 in a docker container for the lickable aero theme and nostalgia. The KDE aero themes just don’t feel the same either. Lots of subtle things missing.
Now add a German Shepherd labelled “Firefox” 😝
Firefox is very heavy, I’m enjoying using its friends Brave or Falkon
both chromium based :(
konqueror/khtml is the real alternative
That was a more lengthy read than I expected, but rightfully so. Thanks for the link, long due read why Brave’s stunts are constantly ringing alarm bells.
“Friends”
