    There’s no trophy you get at the end of your life for “most cumulative ram left idle”

    Some people like to use more than 1 app you know.

    Also, RAM is never ever idle. It is used as filesystem cache when not used by programs thus speeding up read accesses significantly.

      Just to nitpick, RAM is usually not idle.

        Alright, let’s nitpick! No, it is never ever idle, every few cycles is a refresh cycle, which is work.

          It’s great that you mention this, but this is a different layer of abstraction than what we were previously talking about.

      Honestly even with more than 1 application open it shouldn’t be an issue. Maybe with a really old computer, but anything modern really should handle an electron app just fine
