Chrome (~1-4Gb), Slack with quite a few orgs (~2Gb), Discord again with quite a few orgs (~1Gb), Docker for local dev work (~1-8Gb), Gopls (golang's language server) (~1Gb per open vscode).

Running out of RAM is not my main problem, continuously swapping is as has a performance hit across the whole system for some reason.

As with many things, it's not a NEED, it's more that having to care about what I have open at any given moment gets annoying.

Those ravenous apps are the problem here. Seriously, fuck Electron.
