    How is your idle VRAM (video RAM) holding? For some reason i have 1GB usage in Mint with Cinnamon without anything running, while on windows i have 400MB (although i have optimised them a lot).

      I’m not sure. I’m a photographer and comic. I switched to mint cause it’s easy, I’m not much of a computer person.

        Did you find mint easy? I am a bit of a computer person, and I’ve been struggling a bit with it

      400MB??? What do you have running? I never use more than 100 unless I open a game or something.

      Why do you care?

      If I had to guess, VRAM is probably holding stuff as a cache.

      VRAM doesn’t use a lot of power and as long as you aren’t seeing out of memory issues, it doesn’t really matter.

        I’m gaming with an NVIDIA GPU, so my VRAM is kind of limited. I’m at my limits in games because the company cheaped out on VRAM in their GPUs after the 10 series.
