yes i know that obviously. But what do modern oses do more than they did with the memory limitations back then? They serve you more ads and they convince that taking up literally half of your memory and not even leaving enough resources for two apps is somehow necessary, when older computers hosted the os and the apps comfortably in a tiny fraction of that.
No, they do a lot more behind the scenes, running far more useful and necessary services.
Older computers couldn’t do as much as modern computers either.
Also the thing that almost no one send to have mentioned is that computers are multitaskers. People using a computer use multiple programs all at once while they’re all in focus. On phones that’s not the case unless you’re using a foldable or split screen, in which case it keeps those apps alive indefinitely without refreshing/closing. A phone is otherwise one app at a time, and any app that you haven’t used for a few minutes will get suspended so it doesn’t go back to the old days of Android’s battery life being absolutely atrocious due to apps running “full speed” in the background.
read the op's complaint. And all those extra services shouldn't need gb of ram anyway.
Says who? Based on what?
the fact that systems exist which don't, but still do the same things
Which systems?
my pc at home, which doubles as a server, which runs plex, qbittorrent and other stuff, idles at about 1.5 to 2 gigs. While signed in to kde
The phone i am typing this on is currently sitting at just under 5gigs in use, jerboa is the only open app.
Does your pc have a mobile connection? Does your phone have all the services a phone does? No, so it’s not a fair comparison.
RAM being “in use” doesn’t mean that it requires it at that exact time. Unused RAM is wasted ram. Phones pre-load commonly used apps into ram without “opening” them. Your home server doesn’t.
If my phone had 64GB of RAM I’d want 60GB+ of that to be in use at all times, otherwise what’s the point of having it?
my pc also has a full networking stack, just like the phone. And it has a bunch of services running. And i didn't count cached memory for either, just what is in use at the moment.
If you had 64gigs of ram you'd want 60+ to be used as cache, not to be "in use". And i force closed all apps except the one I'm using to write this comment.
Why is it so hard for you to believe stuff is bloated and can actually be significantly more efficient?
My phone doesn't have all the services my pc has either...
