    Lutris is impressive when it comes to game launchers and RAM efficiency, especially when compared to the ones using Electron.

      Kinda depressing what numbers are considered impressive these days.

        Jesus Christ, Steam at 1.4 GB and you are expected to run that WHILE PLAYING GAMES? That made my eyes pop outta my head.

          There’s no way that’s normal. I’m pretty sure mine only uses a couple hundred.

        Who knows, maybe this dram scarcity will cause a change of heart and make people optimise more again. :)

          Why would they? Ram hasn’t been a problem for more than a decade relating to UI.

          Electron apps being 500MB simply isnt a problem. People aren’t loading 15 seperate instances, at most power users are loading like 3.

        For real, I remember when an entire game being over a 20 MiB made me hesitate to download it because it’d take a while.

          The Half Life demo was 50MB. Took me 4 tries to get it over dialup. Played till the sun came up!

        I remember the stories my father told me of his early dev days… “so the mainframe we wrote the whole national social security system for had 8K of RAM”.
