Every panel applet on #Cosmic takes about 33 MB of RAM each, resulting to Cosmic using 2.4 GB of RAM on a cold boot. That is excessive for a brand new, "clean" DE, and on par with #Windows (that has a history of 40 years that needs to carry with it).

I honestly don't understand why it's like that. Most people try #Linux on their older PCs, or a main PC that isn't #Windows11 -capable. Cosmic is just out of their reach for many of potential new users.

@eugenialoli It is my understanding that System76 is mainly a hardware company - trying to make money selling people new PCs.

@fennek They are, although the lead of the OS has almost a carte blanche over the OS decisions, and he is a software guy. So it should have been more optimized.
