    Sitting at 1.4, right now, which is more than every other part of my system unless I’m using plasma crap on the desktop.

    That’s double Heroic, more than Heroic and Itch put together, and you could almost throw in Luitris (Before I dumped it thanks to Claude) and still use less RAM than Steam.

    Maybe they just suck at Linux? You’d think not, since they pretty much own the backend now with proton, but it’s sure the least efficient and most obnoxious piece of software I have dealt with.

        Currently running at, meaning at that exact moment, in the background with no game playing or service running.

        This, for those who have trouble with the English language, means that it is a current snapsot of usage not a record drain on resources.

          I understand that, I just don’t see much reason for it to vary wildly unless it’s processing shaders or something which wouldn’t really be a fair reading of its resource usage.
