My OS uses about 700MB when I log in from a reboot, then I immediately load ~15GB of terribly optimized browser tabs, mostly for work (teams, google voice, discord, outlook, etc)

    For discord i suggest to install Dorion, it is a discord client, it uses like ~22mb of ram on my computer

    I use discord quite heavily; the TOS violation and risk of ban has me a little risk averse when it comes to discord.

    At 22mb it must reverse-engineer the protocol rather than just being a web wrapper.

    It is a web wrapper, you can even enable (but only if you want) vencord or equicord so i am sure it is a web wrapper, also, i just remembered that the first time i used it, it had like 90/100 mb of ram usage then i changed i did something in the settings and it went down to a steady 22mb, if i remember correctly i installed "OpenAsar DOM optimizer" shelter plugin (which you can use alongside vencord/equicord)

    Edit: just checked, it uses Tauri, so on linux you may have some problems like some lag

    It's actually hard to get banned for these things, mainly because discord don't give a fuck and many are hard to detect, the thing that may ban you are API abuses but just stay away from those plugins and don't touch experiments; I never got banned in 2 years of using mods and clients, and i did some crazy stuff
