Re: [DEBIAN TESTING] Questions About Performance
I don't know anything about future release performance, but I can offer
a couple of approaches to get a system running the way you like:
1. See what's taking the memory and use a less demanding alternative.
Likely culprits are web browsers and window managers, there are many
alternatives designed for low resource usage.
2. Run the stable OS that you like better already, but build a new
kernel from source to support your newer hardware.

Hello!
I've been using Debian Testing for the past week. At the time I
started, I was looking for a rolling release option for my laptop that
use APT, because my hardware only works with the modern kernels and
firmwares. I really liked the stability of the testing version (even
if it's not stable) when it comes to bugs. And I was really looking
forward for the stable version of this one.
But I ran into some questions about performance, because the system
itself consumes 1.3 GB of RAM in my machine and some lag, while the
stable version (Bullseye) runs with just 600 MB with no performance
issues (using the same hardware in both cases). Just to put in
perspective, my hardware isn't the best, but the comparison I make is
betweent both of the versions of the OS.
Is it planned some upgrade to reduce the RAM consumption and these
system bottlenecks in future releases?
Kind regards, Gustavo.
