Hey. I’ll apoligize if bad english
I have switched 2/3 weeks ago from LinuxMint 20.3 to EndeavourOS and I’m getting great with the distro.
The problem that makes me kinda unconfortable it’s the amount of RAM that eos keeps eating,
I don’t have any DE installed, like KDE, GNOME, XFCE, etc.
I have installed only i3wm from the installer and that’s it, but i mainly use DWM that i patched.
When i log in to DWM, the RAM used reach to ~849/950MB on idle, which is double compared to when i was using Linuxmint that was like ~489/502MB. I have noticed that when i open brave-browser and Discord, then quit both, the RAM reach to 1,3GB and on Mint it was ~703MB.
Once i was using Dolphin emulator for playing a Wii game with only discord opened and Xorg was keeping allocating memory, even after closing the emulator and discord, until it made the whole OS crash. hope i can kinda return to the old memory usage
for example now, I had only brave-browser opened, and when i closed it, the RAM used was 2,4GB
