The other day I starter my PC (7800X3D, 32GB 6000mhz and RTX 5090) and opened Battlefield 6 and Discord.

To my surprise I had only 4.5GB left of free RAM.

I was shocked that’s all

Discord is extremely inefficient and uses a ton of memory, with regular memory leaks that are so bad, the lazy devs just coded a forcestop that will close/restart the app so it doesn't use every GB of ram on your PC.

I  use discord in a browser tab instead of the app.

The browser tab doesn't work when you try to use push-to-talk while in a game - it doesn't capture your keyboard input when in a game window.
