Why does this crap uses so much memory?

Are you on 2GB or RAM o what?

If you have less than 8GB on 2017 you're just playing dumb.
And that means that the OS takes just 10% of the total memory.

Stop being an autist

I bet you use 90% of your system resources with a bunch of garbage electron "apps" for doing simple tasks

>>61886507
Because it's a bloated piece of shit that runs a modified version of GNOME shell and fucking Compiz too.
I have no idea how it managed to survive so long.

>>61886690
>just buy more RAM stupid goy, all that bloat is good for you lolololololol

Unused memory is wasted memory.

>>61886794
you know what else is wasted memory? wasted memory.
programs that use more memory than they need to take away from more useful uses, like disk cache

>>61886794
Just fill all your free memory with garbage data then so it's not wasted

>>61886507
you can make it smaller if you want to but why?

install Lubuntu or Xubuntu if you're a memcuck

>>61886507
Ubuntu 16.04
220mb ram
No DE/WM though. Just some daemons doing their thang.

Don't worry. I already have /dev/random write to memory so it's always full.
