Yeah, see my sibling comment. I don't know what the person you're replying to has done to their system, but I am very lazy with that too. Not at the moment, but most of the time I have 3 user accounts logged in simultaneously with their respective apps running.
Memory has never really been an issue for me, unless I try to `grep` a very (VERY) big file or something. Which makes sense, right?
- nottorp 3y agoI suppose you have less Electron apps open :) I'm using 12 Gb now (1.53 in swap) with Firefox and several communication apps open. Fortunately atm all my works is in Terminal.
- jeffhuys 3y agoThing is, when I have 3 or 4 Electron apps open, they are still not using 100% "real" memory - it's all compressed if the need arises. What other apps that you use, use Electron?
- Angostura 3y agoMacOS treats unused memory as wasted memory. It does its best to keep memory filled. So a lot of that 12Gb is likely to be 'just in case' stuff. What does the memory pressure graph look like in Activity Monitor?
- nottorp 3y agoThe thing is, when I run an applicaion that allocates 8 G on top of that, it compresses like 7 G, memory pressure turns brown, it goes 3-4 G into swap and sometimes the app crashes :) So the legend has a grain of truth, but you can only stretch it so much.
