I upgraded to 64 GB of RAM and now my average usage is around ~40% so hopefully I will be able to live with that for some time. Browsers, VSCode and other webapps and Electrons are using crazy amounts of memory. But... RAM is cheap now so who cares. :P It's about time to start telling kids legends about old days where people were using memory leak detectors and analyzers.

Out of curiosity, what's your CPU utilization? Every bloated Electron-based app I've ever seen also happened to consume cycles while sitting there doing nothing. I'm willing to give up my RAM, but not my CPU.
