LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 7 months agoIf the majority of ram isn’t being utilized you either have a problem or have entirely to much ram. I’m not saying programs can’t be memory hogs, but they should utilize what resources are there to perform better. It would be like turning on a flash light, using all of the power and then covering half the bulb while trying to cross a field in the dark. The CPU and GPU use more electricity when running at higher percentages, ram is negligible for the most part.

i always hear this but it’s obviously not true lol, if i ever see my ram reach max usage the computer shits itself and i’ll likely have to restart it because most things become utterly frozen
full RAM utilization is patently not something you want.

But they said “majority” not “entirety.”

This is a post about being upset chrome is using 40% of RAM on the system

Chrome might not be the only program running.

Who only has a single program running at a time on their PC? Are we in the 90’s?

Everyone uses multiple programs. Who said you’d only have one program open?
Using 40% for one of your most important programs seems totally reasonable to me.
