minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink33•2 years ago There’s no trophy you get at the end of your life for “most cumulative ram left idle” Some people like to use more than 1 app you know. Also, RAM is never ever idle. It is used as filesystem cache when not used by programs thus speeding up read accesses significantly.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•2 years agoHonestly even with more than 1 application open it shouldn’t be an issue. Maybe with a really old computer, but anything modern really should handle an electron app just fine
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•2 years agoAlright, let’s nitpick! No, it is never ever idle, every few cycles is a refresh cycle, which is work.

Just to nitpick, RAM is usually not idle.
