Clementine doesn't use Electron and consumes more of my memory and UI is ugly. Before we start talking about resources maybe we should compare other music players on the market.
- catach 8y agoThe observation that there's a music player resource tax just makes me less inclined to combine it with the Electron tax.
- jchw 8y agoThere isn't really one inherently; a music player like foobar2000 only takes a few MB of memory even with many plugins. That doesn't mean Clementine and Winamp haven't found ways to waste resources that aren't loading a full Chromium instance (after all, Chromium is pretty efficient considering what it actually brings to the table.)
- chupasaurus 8y agoDebian 10 + KDE, 46MB RSS + 10 MB shared memory consumed while playing some FLACs with lyrics tab opened.
- wst_ 8y agoWindows: private 90M, working set 111M. Mac: real mem 110 MB, around 10MB shared. Maybe Linux implementation deals better with memory.
- chupasaurus 8y agoAs a matter of fact(but not scientifically accurate), chromium-based browsers were consuming twice as much RAM on Win than on Linux whenever I checked. edit: missed a word
