I have macbook air with M1 chip, I wish I could change to linux but unfortunately I cant so I try to stick as much as possible to using open source on macos. But i cant understand why FOSS apps take up so much space in memory. I’m even getting messages that says that I dont have space left in memory and i must close apps, and I thought that chip M1 was enough with 8gb of ram. I send a pic of my memory usage.

    I just opened an empty Writer document to check the RAM usage. On Fedora 39, it is using 161.0 MB. I opened an empty Calc, and the RAM usage increased to 223.9 MB.
