Idle mem 500Mb for a gnome based desktop. That's impressive. Trying out tonight!

  That didn't sound impressive to me at all, then I checked my memory use on Debian with Gnome Desktop, and was a bit shocked. It's hard to gauge memory use, but considering I used to play with OSs that would load to 64MB of RAM it's hard to see what I'm really getting here in terms of perks. Network manager and some mounting help is about all that's useful from Gnome Shell for me.

    Let's say they built it for an average user. And it's kinda impressive. So how much was your Debian taking up?
    • keypress 11y ago
      Debian 8, about 560MB of 4GB with no apps (but for system monitor), and about 760MB of 4GB with Chromium open, with one tab (new tab).
