Screenshot of the KDE System Monitor, showing IntelliJ IDEA taking 1.8 GiB of RAM, VSCodium taking a total of 1.0 GiB, and Kate taking 92.0 MiB

Kate, my beloved

Kate has a built-in terminal option (just like Dolphin file manager) and that can be super handy when using gcc.

My emacs is sitting at 360 MB but I consider it an IDE

[-] khanh@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

WHY is emacs at 360mb is the real question

[-] carotte 4 points 1 month ago

i'm not claiming this is truly representative in any way, RAM consumption is very variable, but the tendency is still clear lol

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

Well IntelliJ is written in Java tbh, you could reasonably have an IDE with less consumption

It's also very nice to use. Though I really should move to Zed or something
