xubuntu80iHow10:17
xu-irc30wHello, 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-irc30wThe consumption at idle when I log in and run top is 800mb, which is almost half of my system memory !10:26
xu-irc30wI would expect one order of magnitude less consumption10:26
diogenes_Vx15xu-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-irc30wOh okay, so I need to install an older system10:29
diogenes_Vx15xu-irc30w, i suggest you go with something like openbox.10:30
xu-irc30wI have one tab open in firefox with this irc chat, and I have 300mb free10:30
diogenes_Vx15or try antiX.10:30
diogenes_Vx15right 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-irc30wSounds like there is something wrong with your computer10:32
diogenes_Vx15hehe not at all, welcome to modern world when developers don't focus on opimizations anymore.10:32
xu-irc30wI upgraded to 2gb  of memory in 2016 but I will not be upgrading it again10:33
diogenes_Vx15then you are doomed/10:33
xu-irc30wI guess I can go back to windows XP I heard that linux was better performance but it is worse haha10:34
diogenes_Vx15win xp you can use only without internet connection.10:35
diogenes_Vx15otherwise you are screwed.10:35
xu-irc30wseemed to work fine yesterday10:35
diogenes_Vx15to work fine and to be secure are two different things.10:36
