explorer.exe is 347 mb memory usage in comparison. We really are in the year of the Linux desktop, those DEs are bloated like Windows used to be

- encryptluks2 4y agoLol.. Windows desktop runs a lot more than explorer.exe.
- approxim8ion 4y agoexplorer.exe is closer to a window manager than a desktop environment. you'd have to compare it to kwin, mutter, xfwm, or i3.
- codedokode 4y ago1) The post has problems with math and the numbers are wrong 2) For fair comparison you should add memory used by daemons/services, otherwise I can say that gnome-shell uses only 200 Mb which is almost twice as low as your number 3) I am not sure if you can properly measure memory usage with Windows Task Manager. You need to account properly private, shared and swapped out pages for each process.
