Why does the top panel of the terminal take so much space? Is it a gnome thing? I wonder what she/he ran that took 6166MB. CLion?

  Yes that’s a GNOME thing. It doesn’t take much to fill up 8Gb these days. I had a few different things running on other workspaces when I took that screenshot: Firefox with a bunch of tabs, CLion (usually good for ~2Gb), Obsidian, some other stuff.

    it's actually just virtual memory, neofetch uses that instead of real memory consumption and the scudo allocator tends to be heavy on reserving virtual memory (actually much more so in the default configuration used in e.g. android than in ours, as i've already put some effort into optimizing that), it's harmless in most configurations (the real memory usage is much lower) though i still plan to look into that more later
