@8BitOverdose Firefox is pretty bad with mem usage too. It's about finding the true way of using less than 50 tabs a session. ;)
-
@starrynights89 Hahaha true! But on the serious side. In worst case, couldn't you just ditch some animations to reduce KDE ram usage?

Nope. Too much. I want the macOS experience but with the control of Linux. Much happier with KDE. It does use about 720MB more RAM on an average session but when you have 8GB does it really matter?
Now to figure out how to get Firefox to play nice with Plasma, or give Konqueror a spin.
