Gnu/Linux desktops-windows managers RAM ShoWDowN
Gnu/Linux desktops-windows managers RAM ShoWDowN
There's been a tad bit of which OS/distro and what desktop environment vs windows managers use what, how much RAM, going around the forums. So if anybody feels like sharing their stats, this thread is as good a place as any eh ? Some ground rules to keep it fair to everyone.
If you so desire provide the following information/stats:
* The operating system(s) used and version thereof + 32 or 64bit, Debian, Arch, Bunsenlabs gnu/Linux etc ?
* Just to be anal is the install VM-virtual machine or bare metal (installed on a disk)?
* Which desktop environment(s) or windows manager(s) and the version numbers are involved ?
* Finally at bootup/start up memory stats (ie: via the "free -m" command, ps_mem etc) ? Also realise some nixers would rather swallow their tongue than reboot, so if that's you, how about just shutting everything but the bare minimum down for this. Though if so inclined share your systems uptime too.
Since this my hair brained thread, only right I should start.
#1. Bare-metal Debian 9.8 32bit netinstall, openbox v 3.6.1-4, memory at bootup = 85mbs-ram according to the free -m command. While ps_mem is reporting 103.8mbs.
Note: Though ps_mem also tells me the terminal I'm using to run these commands in is using 17mbs of that, so it's 103.8 - 17 = 86.8mbs. Yep ... I'm anal.
#2. Bare-metal Debian 9.7 64bit netinstall, with openbox 3.6.1-4, memory at bootup = 117mbs-ram free -m, whereas ps_mem says 120.4mbs - 25.8 (for the pesky terminal again.) comes out to 94.6mbs.
Well that's my stats folks and welcome to the gnu/Linux OS/desktop/windows manager memory SHOWDOWN !!!

On the same machine in a fairly fresh Stretch install with KDE Plasma 5.12.7 from NeptuneOS, it boots to about 355MB RAM which is almost the same as MX with Xfce uses. It amuses me when I read about KDE being bloated as that is history. Compare it to reports of current Gnome using 1,000MB or more.
I can also understand why some like to use a plain window manager instead of a DE, but my days of constant tweaking systems are over and for me a saving of a couple hundred MB is not worth losing all the nice Plasma 5 functionality.

^ New rule if you have 6 million gigs of RAM and 3 ssd's, don't bother posting (jealous.) Thanks for posting. BTW people the ground rules aren't set in stone. Main thing is so we all can get some real life interesting resource stats for this verses that.
@Sunrat have toyed with getting an ssd for this old thing, they're getting cheap nowadays but it'd be like trying to put a Ferrari engine in a Volkswagen.

Re: Gnu/Linux desktops-windows managers RAM ShoWDowN
This machine is over 10 years old with 4GB RAM. I promise not to post results from my newer i5/16GB one.Deb-fan wrote:^ New rule if you have 6 million gigs of RAM and 3 ssd's, don't bother posting (jealous.)
I put the SSD in maybe 7 years ago and this old faithful system has run nicely ever since. I don't think I'd be using it still if it only had spinny disks (it still has 2 of them for data, SSDs were frightfully expensive in 2011). Totally worth the upgrade. It wouldn't be like putting a Ferrari engine in a VW, but more like trading in your VW for a Ferrari for the cost of a tank of petrol.@Sunrat have toyed with getting an ssd for this old thing, they're getting cheap nowadays but it'd be like trying to put a Ferrari engine in a Volkswagen.

Re: Gnu/Linux desktops-windows managers RAM ShoWDowN
^ Lmao, nice. Don't think the buses could handle the throughput. Doubt the ssd would ever live up to potential due to one bottleneck or other but at $40 summin bucks, if/when the rust drive dies, might try it anyway. Will definitely repair if possible, rather than trash.
Thanks GaryR but new, new rule. Maybe "free -h" command might be the way to go.

Re: Gnu/Linux desktops-windows managers RAM ShoWDowN
This is from GNOME Buster, soon to be Debian 10.
I can use amdgpu kernel module instead of radeon (SI card), but I don't game a lot on these hot, summer days.
EDIT: The measuremnt is taken while Chromium was open with 2 tabs. So, take away some 600-700 MB of RAM (in this case, it's about 900 MB total on idle+terminal).

Secondary boot (exiting tui) loads fd64 main sfs, full blown X desktop environment with Chrome, Libre etc.
Boots from usb, with multi-save session saving back to usb. i.e. usb can be unplugged after booting and it all runs in ram. Only need to reattach usb if I want to run a 'save' i.e. configuration change. All data stored elsewhere, so generally I boot the exact same 'clean' system every time, use it, shut down without saving (no risk of a crack being made persistent across reboots). Chome is included in that, clean/new after each reboot, so I store bookmarks in a text file - tilda caters for clickable links, so when viewing that bookmarks files I can click/add/remove those links easily.
tui remains available in the gui session, using tilda drop down terminal (F1 to show/hide, Quake style). I have a ncurses menu - similar in appearance/operation to mc style, where clicking menu options (program launch) that opens a new tilda tab with that program loaded into that tab (or opens the gui window for gui programs, Fatdog uses Openbox). So I can for instance still run w3m on hashbang if I so desire. On hashbang sessions run under tmux.
Presently, writing this (in Chrome) ... with moderate/heavily active desktop

F1 shows tui ...
F1 again hides tui to reveal the gui desktop
I live in UK, but like to ssh into US, so most of my data is via that ssh tunnel. I even set hashbang as my socks proxy so local Chrome/dns lookups also flow through the ssh tunnel. So web sites (or in the following image BBS's) see my IP as being a US based IP
For sensitive connections, such as online paying credit card bill for instance, I use my local ISP's routing/dns after having re-booted a 'clean' session.

Re: Gnu/Linux desktops-windows managers RAM ShoWDowN
System: Host: dragora Kernel: 4.18.9-gnu i686 bits: 32 Desktop: IceWM 1.4.2 Distro: Dragora 3.0 D3
There is always a slight variation when running ps_mem or free -m (maybe someone can explain?) I've seen it as low as 23MB for the same setup but 64bit and fully loaded booting to the desktop (tint2 and fittstool) it's around 35MB... Of course then you fire up a browser That said. I only currently have netsurf or dillo as my gui browser which will take you to the dizzy heights of 48MB but you know what I mean.
Of one thing I'm sure. It should not be the interface that hogs memory if you set it up methodically. I use the same very tweaked interface on my atoms as my i5's because it's very easy, very fast, very light and very configurable because it follows the Unix philosophy.
Bang for your buck is what I like because I run a lot of old low powered machines. The current state of the desktop on Gnu/Linux doesn't offer many new features bar a bit of bling. In fact many features that did exist are being dumbed down, and bling is replacing speed. DE's like TDE where you can turn off the bling in return for speed will always get a thumbs up from me.

Re: Gnu/Linux desktops-windows managers RAM ShoWDowN
I learned way back on #! & LinuxBBQ how to manage my system and use it as KISS & Unix philosophy.
Since then, i don't install junks.

Re: Gnu/Linux desktops-windows managers RAM ShoWDowN
You fellows above dang sure aren't messing around. Call that taking minimal to the maximum. Agree will/would always setup a gnu/nix Os the same on high/low spec. Had never even heard of Tde (Trinity desktop environment) interesting. When a better opportunity presents plan on exploring a bunch of the available DE's and windows managers out there. If only for the experience and sake of it.
Thanks for sharing stats fellow nixers.
