>16 GB RAM40% memory usage>32 GB RAMStill 40% memory usageI only have firefox and one other browser running, not even watching videosWhy?
I believe the jews have something to do with this
>what is caching
>>108811136
>>108811190reddit bullshit**it sounds true, its not logically inconsistent, it might be true, it might even partially explain the observation, but it actually isnt
>>108811534>I don't understand it therefore plebbit
>>108811534it is due to caching you dolt
>>108811136You've got malware or something else fucking you up are you running a torrent client?
That's what you get for enabling autists.
>>108811136>I LOVE it when the RAM I paid for sits unused when it could instead help speed up the system!why are tech illiterates so vocal with their ignorant bitching?
>>108812431what if I want to use my RAM for something other than firefox?
>>108812431>another retard who doesn't understand caches>probably autistic too
>>108811136It's ghosts and they're using your free ram to run an illegal online casino
>>108812443cache eviction
>>108812443>what if I want to use my RAM for something other than firefox?>I want to use my RAMplease post a screen recording of you manually "using your RAM" for something else, I'll wait
my ram is ddr5 6000mhz cl36my mb can go up to 7200mhz
here's your 64gb of ram bro
>>108812475Doesn't work, system literally grounds to a halt and freezes on linux, mac and windows.
>>108813084Then Firefox is insisting on running in the background and using tons of RAM. In any case, pages that are cache should be evicted. This is why "idle" RAM usage is irrelevant.
>>108811136Anti-consumer shenanigans.When I had 2GB RAM, I was looking forward to upgrading to 4GB so that Visual Studio would work better and compile faster.When I had 4GB RAM, I was looking forward to upgrading to 8GB so that Visual Studio would work better and compile faster.When I had 8GB RAM, I was looking forward to upgrading to 16GB so that Visual Studio would work better and compile faster.When I had 16GB RAM, I was looking forward to upgrading to 32GB so that Visual Studio would work better and compile faster.At this point I just gave up and accepted that compiling my shit will always take 20 minutes no matter what I upgrade.
>>108811136Winshit problemI can't saturate even 30 GiB of RAM on my 64 GiB CachyOS gaming machine at home, even though I'm recording 5 minutes of 4K gameplay to RAM.This is an 8 GiB shitbox that I use for web server, domain controller, mail server, web browsing and occasionally gaming.
>>108813179And this is only with zram without physical swap btw
>>108811136Windows uses more RAM for caching shit if the system has more available.
>>108811136>Brave with 4chan tabs>Discord open>Fedora KDE Plasma>4GB RAM Usage
>>108812599six seveeeeeeeeeeeeen ahhhhhxP
>>108811136Well what's the point in getting more ram if you aren't going to use it? It's like buying a sports car and then eco driving the thing.
>>108813318>It's like buying a sports car and then eco driving the thing.So it's good because it reduces wear and prolong longevity?
>>108813140>I just gave upA smart person would've just ditched VS, because it's unoptimized shitware, and its jeet programmers don't care until they're literally jobless because MS goes belly up.Which cannot happen soon enough for my taste. I wish all them employees unemployment for the rest of their days and an early, suicide-inflicted death.
ITT: Retarded people that have never heard of memory management and they think they're better than an Operating System at doing it.
>>108812431>What is overhead?
>>108813327Not really the point but maybe.
>>108813374I mean, there IS something to be said about an application knowing its use cases better than the kernel could ever guess.
>>108813407>>What is overhead?Yeah anon, what is it? let's hear it from you :)
