How much memory does Discord normally use?
Up to 4 GB based on this article (in French) https://rust.developpez.com/actu/388813/Discord-abandonne-son-application-Electron-basee-sur-le-framework-web-qui-peut-consommer-jusqu-a-4-Go-de-RAM-sous-Windows-11-la-nouvelle-version-reecrite-en-Rust-ne-consomme-quant-a-elle-que-290-Mo/
😆 That’s insane. 1/16th of my RAM for a voice comm program. What a bunch of bloat.
Makes me curious what Fluxer is using now that I switched to that.
It uses flutter, still bloated but it’s frequently uses a quarter of what discord does for the same work load. Typically between 500 megs to 1 gig. When discord would use 2-4 gigs.
If you want a full all in one client like this your going to have to use a decent chunk of ram no matter what. But discord lost its marbles ages ago.
Are you including video streaming in that number? We just use it for voice and text and I’ve never seen it go above 2gb.
I suppose that was a couple years ago, though, so things may have changed
This is based on what my ram usage tracker has listed from when I used discord about 8 months ago. I’m weird and keep track of ram, CPU, GPU and io usage for every process 24/7.
I haven’t used it since switching to fluxer.
It’s usage is honestly kinda all over the place. While fluxers is really consistent. Couldn’t tell you why.
But I can say that watching video streams would be included in that ram figure.
Right right but I’m asking what you were doing in discord when you got that 4gb number. Was discord idle? Were you in voice chat with 5 people? Sharing video?
Fuck if I know I just record ram usage and time stamp. WHAT I was doing is a good of guess as yours. I was probably watching a steam. But I can’t remember what I was doing last week let alone months ago.
Yeah I definitely only want the voice features, so if Fluxer ever starts bloating I might move back to Mumble like I was using 20 years ago lol.
