I disable power management on the apps I use often and never run into the issue. Perhaps that might help create a less frustrating experience for you.

Adding, I disabled all background access to all of the programs I don’t regularly use / expect to return to.
Only like 5 apps have any background access and they never get auto-cleared.
Between that and GOS letting me block network access to apps that really shouldn’t need it, my battery lasts for days.

Power management does nothing when RAM is as constrained as 4GB

the question is: why do two, not even three, apps consume all of the 4gb?

Mozilla had to fire a big part of their browser engineering team to raise the salary of their CEO. That’s how FF is less optimized.

The operating system has to use that RAM too.

yes i know that obviously. But what do modern oses do more than they did with the memory limitations back then? They serve you more ads and they convince that taking up literally half of your memory and not even leaving enough resources for two apps is somehow necessary, when older computers hosted the os and the apps comfortably in a tiny fraction of that.
