He's included screenshots of top. It appears he has akonadi installed which from my experience is a huge memory consumer. It's the first thing I uninstall on new builds.
- marmarama 4y agoAh, I missed the zip file with the screenshots in. Yes, Akonadi loves RAM. I'm a bit confused as to why it's installed and running by default in this case - is this a Fedora-ism? I don't think Kubuntu or Arch install it by default, it's only installed as a dependency if you install elements of the KDEPIM suite. FWIW, after baloo_file_extractor finished indexing new files on my Steam Deck, it exited, and KDE RAM usage was down to ~600MB.
- thomond 4y agoYeah, it's a bit old fashioned IMO. It comes with CD/DVD ripping software and an Office suite for example. It seems to be aimed towards Office users rather then home users. I always uninstall most of the default software.
- riskable 4y ago> Yeah, it's a bit old fashioned That sums up Fedora and Red Hat's other stuff pretty well.
