    Meanwhile, on my Linux system I use about 20% of my ram idling around and it doesn’t really budge. I’ve only got 16gb

      I left windows just 2 months ago to use a MacBook for work.

      In both computers I had 16gb of ram.

      Windows usage was significantly higher in regard to ram usage.

      I use today Linux is way more efficient, but after seeing similar efficiency with Mac, I’m changing my language to say Windows is extremely inefficient.
