And I don't plan to switch back either. Everything is just better on Linux for me (sh.itjust.works)

Windows 11 used to consume 3.5GB of RAM and Solus Budgie 4.5 consumes only 1GB...

And what exactly is wrong with that?

My MacBook Pro was 128 GB of memory is so desperate to fill it up that it gives the applications insane amounts of memory. That only took around 30 GB of memory, so the Mac also loaded the entire file system to the memory which takes around 80 GB. The whole system is super fast because it doesn’t have to read the files from a slow SSD, but from a fast memory.

It’s just a matter of how you look at it. The empty memory = wasted memory.

128 GB RAM? How much did the whole thing cost?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I think it was around 7.5k EUR. But because I bought and sold Apple shares with this in mind I’ve paid around 500 EUR for that thing.

Bro, my laptop has 8GB of memory lol, and it uses 3.5GB of it just after the startup.
