I'm using a 6/7 year old ASUS with 8gb of RAM. It has no problems running 20 Chrome tabs, Slack, Spotify, VSCode all at once. Are these programs really pushing people's laptops that hard, or is my laptop some kind of weird mega-performer?
- philliphaydon 6y agoWhile they do chew any ram available. It is an over exaggeration.
- nobleach 6y agoI'm always confused why my experience never matches that of others in this arena. I run bare i3 and NeoVim. When I add Slack, Chrome and Spotify, I often see 12 Gigs of usage after a couple of days. Most of the time it comes down to Chrome's tabs... and Slack appearing to be leaky. I've recently started using an extension for Chrome which puts my tabs to sleep and frees the memory they were using. But still, I'm sitting at 8.33 Gigs of RAM used.
- Joeri 6y agoChrome is bad with memory if you’re a tab hoarder, and some extensions can also be problematic. They have an update in the pipeline which will dramatically decrease memory use for background tabs. I haven’t really seen the memory problems with slack, but we use the free slack without extensions. Maybe it has a similar problem with extensions?
