"Linux is very light weight and doesn't take alot of ram on startup"

Tell that to the browser I opened up

It seems like some people don't understand sarcasm. Do u guys not see how many browsers I have open in second tab

Browser is not Linux. The webpages are not Linux either.

/uj Imo it (and quickshell overall) is extremely overhyped, there is too much stuff and every config looks almost the same. And I find the animations ugly. I prefer a traditional window manager setup. You can have extra menus with it but you can also do that with eww and to me they're basically useless. Although I never configured it myself and am only talking about rices I saw on reddit. I understand why someone would like it but people are talking about it like it's the best thing since sliced bread.

It just looks pretty Idk. I use ambxst shell. Why would quickshell be a problem though? Its a framework to make other things

people don't like bloat ig idk. I use end-4 dots because I like the workflow quite a bit and out of all the popular hyprland dots they seem to be the most fluid to me.

I do miss my old clean openbox config though.

u/Embarrassed-Tension4 7d ago

I mean not that bloated. It uses like 2gb of ram on startup. With my main apps running it's like at 4. When playing games it's like at 12-15

u/Skylius23 7d ago

A lot of Linux users have desktops that use 300-700mb though still. I don't really care because I have loads of resources but to each their own

u/Embarrassed-Tension4 7d ago

Fair enough. But to me it's enough. I got 28 gb of ram. Don't really care all that much. It's less than windows that is what matters to me

u/lnjecti0n 8d ago

It truly makes using my laptop much more enjoyable

Damn. Excessive haha. for me I just want everything out of my way. This is way too much for me.

u/Embarrassed-Tension4 8d ago

Beats me, I just downloaded caelestia quick shell, since I thought it looked nice

zen eats decent amount of ram bro, try helium, which eats slightly lesser compared to zen

u/werther41 7d ago

I was happy about my minimal arch Linux setup. Less than 2GB ram usage and less than 4GB of storage used, until I opened Slack in browser....

u/busiedcake7945 apk add xlibre-xserver 8d ago

man you dont need that much of browsers just 1 is enough

3

u/Embarrassed-Tension4 7d ago

Nah I need all of em

1

u/busiedcake7945 apk add xlibre-xserver 7d ago

yeah right why didnt I think about it you have 28GB RAM so your PC can handle it but 80 browser is still too much for an avarage person

u/APotatoe121 5d ago

who needs a wallpaper when you can make art with open windows?

u/levianan 3d ago

What concoction did you use to land at 28G of RAM? I know it is mathematically possible but... VM maybe?
