- aidenn0 4y agoKDE hasn't gotten more resource intensive on my laptop (turns 7 soon) since it was when I installed it in mid 2016. It probably uses a 200-300 more MB of ram compared to XFCE, but the number of tabs open in my web-browser dominates any other memory usage on my system. The only thing that slowed my system down was the file indexer (Baloo); some people have said better now, but I never re-enabled it.
- kombine 4y agoThat. I disabled Baloo because it's cache was growing uncontrollably. And Firefox with many opened tabs uses most RAM anyway, in that sense I don't see how much it's the problem of KDE.
- everybodyknows 4y agoDid Baloo replace Nepomuk? How does Baloo compare with locate?
- aidenn0 4y ago> Did Baloo replace Nepomuk? Yes, or more specifically it replaced nepomuk-kde (NEPOMUK[1] is/was a EU standard for representing semantic data via RDF) > How does Baloo compare with locate? It indexes the contents of any files with MIME types that it knows how to convert to text. AFAIK locate only indexes paths, not contents. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEPOMUK_(software) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEPOMUK_(software)
