| xu-irc30w | Hello, I have just installed xubuntu however I have noticed that it consumes a great deal of system memory, how do I reduce the system memory consumption ? | 10:20 |
| xu-irc30w | The consumption at idle when I log in and run top is 800mb, which is almost half of my system memory ! | 10:26 |
| xu-irc30w | I would expect one order of magnitude less consumption | 10:26 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | xu-irc30w, nope, that's the minimum amount all modern systems use, if on top of that you open a browser then your PC is frozen because it will eat up all your RAM. | 10:29 |
| xu-irc30w | Oh okay, so I need to install an older system | 10:29 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | xu-irc30w, i suggest you go with something like openbox. | 10:30 |
| xu-irc30w | I have one tab open in firefox with this irc chat, and I have 300mb free | 10:30 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | or try antiX. | 10:30 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | right now i have only browser, text editor and a music player opened and i got 9 GB of RAM used a;ready. | 10:31 |
| xu-irc30w | Sounds like there is something wrong with your computer | 10:32 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | hehe not at all, welcome to modern world when developers don't focus on opimizations anymore. | 10:32 |
| xu-irc30w | I upgraded to 2gb of memory in 2016 but I will not be upgrading it again | 10:33 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | then you are doomed/ | 10:33 |
| xu-irc30w | I guess I can go back to windows XP I heard that linux was better performance but it is worse haha | 10:34 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | win xp you can use only without internet connection. | 10:35 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | otherwise you are screwed. | 10:35 |
| xu-irc30w | seemed to work fine yesterday | 10:35 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | to work fine and to be secure are two different things. | 10:36 |
