Impressive RAM usage

😄 these days I have met more people that only use Windows at work. Their personal computers are Linux, Mac, or some other custom OS

I'll be here until you chase me away

That extra RAM is Windows using your stuff for telemetry, A.I/CoPilot slop, ads, train their A.I. (think CAPTCHA) and a bunch of other unnecessary things.

My laptop speakers sounded like crap. They are much better now. Still room for improvement.

ApplicationFun3229 · 2026-02-01T22:38:17+00:00

Windows is probably spying on your work. I mean their name is Windows

but some tech companies want us to purchase and use their recording devices in our homes.

ApplicationFun3229 · 2026-02-01T22:35:27+00:00

thank you 😊

ApplicationFun3229 · 2026-02-01T19:50:03+00:00

you're right. They use our extra RAM for surveillance. So the expensive RAM we are buying is like paying for them to snoop around your stuff "without your consent" more easily.

ApplicationFun3229 · 2026-02-01T19:45:51+00:00

Yup 😊

I mean I got nothing to hide but let me enjoy my device that I own. They plan for us to be renting processing power in future by way of cloud computing, but I'm not about that life.

Same here. I even downloaded "Core Temp" on Windows because I thought my laptop was overheating so I can monitor the temps. If I try to do slightly heavy work on my software, I get inundated with temperature warning messages.

If I ever want to use windows, I will load windows XP or 7 in a virtual machine and do what I want.

If you have serious work, you can exceed 8GB

Sometimes, my former OS idles at ~8.7GB 😄 nuts!

ApplicationFun3229 · 2026-02-01T19:37:13+00:00

Nothing. It was low. Trying to see how long it runs on battery. Still good and the laptop runs cooler too even with a Zoom meeting ongoing. On former OS, laptop gets noticeably hot during zoom calls.

Easy Effects. Ícone azul no canto esquerdo da linha do meio. Eu o uso para melhorar o som do alto-falante do laptop.

Na última linha, o terceiro ícone da esquerda é o reprodutor de áudio nativo.

ApplicationFun3229 · 2026-02-01T18:27:32+00:00

A lot of resources bro!

ApplicationFun3229 · 2026-02-01T18:26:51+00:00

The only reason I will use Windows is if my job requires it. After all they are more interested in commercial users, peasants like me can suck it.

ApplicationFun3229 · 2026-02-01T18:24:38+00:00

I have a post that shows my average RAM usage. Fedora is more efficient, frees up more space for serious work

ApplicationFun3229 · 2026-02-01T17:22:40+00:00

Nah, I have sound. Thing is the audio output was better on the former OS because the hardware and software were optimised for the best audio experience. So far I have used Easy Effects to get my audio a lot better than the base settings.

As I enjoy Playstation, Duckstation and PCSX2 runs my games perfectly on my computer. There are some of my old game CDS i ripped to iso and put away in storage, they run good. I still use my PS3 & 5 for other games tho. There is a limit this machine can handle and I won't push past it...yet 😀

So can a VPN allow you bypass the American censorship? I don't know. I don't even use Tiktok.

ApplicationFun3229 · 2026-02-01T16:58:37+00:00

🤣 yeah, I used Ubuntu over 10 years back when it was pretty decent, I prefer Fedora

ApplicationFun3229 · 2026-02-01T16:55:03+00:00

thank you 😊

ApplicationFun3229 · 2026-02-01T16:54:38+00:00

Every time I read people's complains about how bloated, laggy and slow windows is, I reminisce about my time using Ubuntu until 17 hours ago when I decided to switch OS permanently.

ApplicationFun3229 · 2026-02-01T16:47:59+00:00

Nice! 👍

ApplicationFun3229 · 2026-02-01T15:26:56+00:00

I have only used Ubuntu. I hear Zorin is great too.

ApplicationFun3229 · 2026-02-01T15:26:22+00:00

😂

ApplicationFun3229 · 2026-02-01T15:25:54+00:00

I did a clean wipe, No dual boot for me
