Code OSS (VSCode) in distrobox with clangd language server and NCS for embedded development sucks up like 8GB of my 32 just having 6 or so files open once you start building because it keeps builds in RAM or something. It balloons fast at least lol
At least those are handling actual data you’re doing serious work with.
Chrome is something I’d mostly be using for a few bits (well maybe Kbits) of reference text. I blame the websites as much as chrome itself. I assume the OS is smart enough to cache that somewhere though when I want the ram for something else.
MS teams is just siting there eating c.1gb for nothing but to be an annoying pos. Outlook doing the same but not as much resources I think.
But it’s true when I have to kill a task it is much more likely to be one where I’ve knowingly put several GB of data into ram to do stuff with.
Also code development programs.
