Desktop Reduction
Running Porteus going on three months. Have had no need for second desktop. Any way of reducing to one desktop, if this will save on memory?

Re: Desktop Reduction
Hi
Are you talking about the "virtual desktops"?
If yes, click
"start" > kde system settings > Workspace Behavior > Virtual Desktops
to change it.

Re: Desktop Reduction
Thanks. I've done that. Now waiting for memory to go up. Or is it the next time KDE is started?

Re: Desktop Reduction
RAM is there to be used. linux caches everything and releases objects only when needed: RAM gets full. i wouldn't worry about the RAM (removing 1GB of data - unpacked kernel sources - from tmpfs takes about a second) - better check if swap actively used. if not then you have nothing to worry about.
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.
