>tfw you can run out of 16gb of ram with linux.
I was running maybe 50 chrome tabs and five 4K images on GIMP, but that should not add up to 16 fucking Giga(/bi)bytes...
Did you swapped or what?
install gentoo

Install The Great Suspender for Chrome

Open a resource manager (htop?) and check for yourself what's using all the ram. Also, notice that 'free' and 'used' ram are 2 different things. Linux is caching the files you access in memory unlike windows, but if a program needs those resources they'll be freed.
P.S: 50 tabs of chrome can use 16 gigs with no problem, depending on the web app you've opened.

Chrome was indeed the biggest memory hog, can't remember now how much it was using, though

wat is this shit

There is a difference between a Gigabyte (1,000,000,000 bytes) and a Gibibyte (1024^3 bytes).

Botnets are memory hogs breh

I guess you fell for the 16 GiB RAM meme.
I will frequently have multiple programs open in KDE on Debian, and I rarely use the whole 2G of ram my maschine has.

typical /g/ autism, don't mind it..
Should've used more
