11% month on month expansion is fucking crazy. You can see from the data it's mostly Windows 10 users deciding to upgrade to Linux...and even OSX.

I’m in those stats when I switched to Mint!

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).

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

[–] nuko147@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well, screen is running at 4k, so i think its normal.
