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.

    Take any other foss email client. It will use a lot less memory than Thunderbird. It is not foss apps, but particular apps take much memory. Such ones as LibreOffice and Thunderbird are memory hungry. I don’t know what is LibreWolf.
