The sad state of Linux mint

>this 700 MiB something memory consumption is quite usual for GNOME 3 based desktop environments.
How can anyone defend this?
>How can anyone defend this?
RedHat money and influence, plus an army of fanbois defending it for free.
Thankfully, RedHat will be killed by IBM in the near future, so we can finally put this dark chapter of Linux userspace behind us along with systemd, pulseaudio, and wayland.
>700mb
>a lot
now show us your maxed out memory usage
i bet you are one of these people that have 32gb of ram and spergs out anytime any program uses more then few megabytes
I have 16 but I prefer to use it on actual things I'm using my computer for and not idle processes
ok, so post your usual usage of memory, im still waiting
Linux Mint is actually pretty comfy.
Linux Mint thread?
all gtk3 desktop environments are heavy pieces of shit, especially gnome and cinnamon
>700mb for a desktop environment is too much
>several gb for chromium with some tabs open is okay
are you that poor that you can't afford more than 4gb of ram, or are you all just jerking over having 15 out of 16gb ram free all the time? unused ram is wasted ram, and crying over 300mb difference when your average react powered ""modern"" website takes that much to render static text is retarded.
Did you fail graphmaking class?
MX Linux does not have this problem
how about xfce
> Jow Forums is one person
user do you know how ram works?
It's not OK either.
I'm a Kubuntu user and I call bullshit on this one!
>unused ram is wasted ram
Is this what shit coders rationalize their life with?
The problem is the ram cartel, decline of PC industry and windows not using more RAM. 8GB was standard 10 years ago, we should all have 256GB RAM now - we PC users are cucks that have been brainwashed to not expect tech growth
Xfce Mint does not have this problem
That feeling when you was spending money on computer and you don't can to buy a mobile with good camera
Wayland is good and has nothing to do with Red Hat though, enjoy your rootkit
Seeing FOSSturds whine about 300 mb of ram is so pathetic. It's not the 00s anymore. Get a hold of yourselves, manchildren.
Based and redpilled
This is the mentality that allowed games to be hundreds of GB's and web browsers using a handful of GBs of RAM
No, actually. Technological progress is what allowed that. That's why you don't have 5 polygon models in video games anymore, dinosaur.
How does a Windows 3.1 clone use even 300MB? Microsoft managed to do it in 1MB.
It’s more of a Win7 clone.
>unused ram is wasted ram
Insert the brainletest brainlet image right here.
