general electron, who knows from what process, probably split among those two:
`qalc $(ps -eo pid,comm,rss | grep -i electron | awk '{sum+=$3} END {print sum " kB"}')`
5119380 kilobytes ≈ 5.1194 GB
signal:
`qalc $(ps -eo pid,comm,rss | grep -i signal | awk '{sum+=$3} END {print sum " kB"}')`
1152728 kilobytes ≈ 1.1527 GB
telegram:
`qalc $(ps -eo pid,comm,rss | grep -i telegram | awk '{sum+=$3} END {print sum " kB"}')`
717244 kilobytes ≈ 717.24 MB
grayjay:
`qalc $(ps -eo pid,comm,rss | grep -i grayjay | awk '{sum+=$3} END {print sum " kB"}')`
1544948 kilobytes ≈ 1.5449 GB
`qalc $(ps -eo pid,comm,rss | grep -i dotcefnative | awk '{sum+=$3} END {print sum " kB"}')`
2053964 kilobytes ≈ 2.0540 GB
so you're telling me that to have 2 chat apps running while listening to a podcast I need... 10.5 GB of ram? and this is fine?
I must just be an alien or something, because to me that's CRAZY.
Whoever invented electron and "modern" software deserves to use a computer with less than 4 GB of ram and only 2 cores, to see what they have caused.
How is it possible that I REGULARLY run out of 64 GB of ram? And my swap is always full too.
