        To be fair, this is not a windows exclusive problem, especially in the age of smartphones and flatpak.

          I have no clue how much ram, cpu or anything is being used. I have no idea what processes are runing. I have no Idea how the file structure looks. And I know from experience that I can’t trust any setting in the settings. I have to google my model to know what hardware it has. I can only “safely” install apps from big corp app stores.

          I’m talking about my phone. It’s so annoying.

            You can see ram utilization and running processes in Settings > Developer Options > Running Services.

            I’m sure there are apps that will do a full resource manager, though.

              I never found this! This is a game changer. It’s very basic and frankly quite bad, but I now see that my phone is doing naughty stuff. I’ll def look for an app, I need to read all these random things in the dev settings. Thank you!

              edit: not even 5 minutes and I’m finding so many things that I’d like to change. I had NFC all this time!? Why is my keyboard using 150MB RAM constantly? broo thanks soo much

        Depending on how you access things, you can be working on a doc saved in a temp location and when you hit save it just saves it where it is
