No. KDE is not using 11G of RAM, that is ridiculous. KDE might be in a |
26 |
position to *address* 11G of RAM which might be used for any of a number |
27 |
of reasons - like caching every thumbnail you ever read in the session. |
28 |
|
29 |
11G addressable out of 16G indicates that efficient use of your memory |
30 |
is being made. What would be the point of having 16G and only ever using |
31 |
say 1G? |

That part doesn't seem to work too well. I get most of my apps back at |
48 |
restart, but on the wrong desktop, and non-kde apps are not remembered. |

Solution: I never switch the computer off. Desktop just stays running, |
51 |
laptops get suspended. |
