Right!? Linux can be configured to idle at less than 500mb of ram - by contrast, with some aggressive shenanigans, MacOS can idle at 2-3gb.

When running inference, I would love to use all of my hardware please Apple.

It idles at 2-3GB but when your apps need the RAM, does it free up system memory so that it's closer to 500MB?
