Comment on What are the memory usage of various types of processes?
trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 2 days agoGiven the size of the games industry and estimates that over 60% of people play video games weekly I’d find it rather strange to exclude games, and the whole gamer vs normie distinction seems outdated.

I would not say that reflects my experience. The vast majority of the people I interact with outside of the internet don’t play video games, and if they do it’s crossword games or candy crush on their phone, so I would not generally consider video games as an average person thing, or at least it doesn’t seem to be where I live outside the younger generations
Either way, OP said they don’t want RAM hog applications, for which they mentioned video editors taking 8+GB, and I’d say on average games probably take 4-8GB (and I don’t particularly play the modern AAA stuff), so I’d consider them a valid target to exclude on those grounds even if we do define them as something for average people
