#VsCode/#Codium is making my mac unstable because of how much resources it's using (it recently used 47 GB ram, out of 16) so I've been trying out alternatives. The Kate editor seems nice

@PhilipTheBucket Ig it won’t hurt, but I don’t have issues with anything else, including compiling large programs on all cores and playing resource intensive games

    Hm, yeah, maybe not that then. In that case I have no idea, I just know I've used VSCode on a lot more resource-constrained machines than that and can't remember ever having it cause a whole system crash.

    (Actually, not completely true -- once I set up a NixOS machine with 8GB of RAM and forgot to make any swap for it for some stupid reason, and that one definitely got completely hosed if I tried to open up e.g. Codium and Firefox at the same time. But not for any machine that was set up right 🙂.)
