[10:17] <xubuntu80i> How
[10:20] <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 ?
[10:26] <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
[10:29] <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
[10:30] <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.
[10:31] <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.
[10:32] <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.
[10:33] <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/
[10:34] <xu-irc30w> I guess I can go back to windows XP I heard that linux was better performance but it is worse haha
[10:35] <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
[10:36] <diogenes_Vx15> to work fine and to be secure are two different things.
