ZFS does use a lot of RAM for cache. If you choose to use ZFS you should likely be on a desktop with several drives and lots of RAM. It would be ideal if you had 3-8 HDD's and you setup zraid. Or perhaps 2 HDD's mirrored via ZFS and bootable. You could use ZFS with dual M.2 NVME boot drives mirrored and multiple HDD's in whatever ZFS configuration that makes sense for you. The advantages of ZFS are many. The big one is instantaneous snapshots with a bonus being data resiliency. It's best suited to servers but can be used on a workstation.

Stock Gnome doesn't usually take that much ram. Ubuntu's tweaked version of Gnome does however. They bloat it up with all kinds of extensions. Hence the high ram usage. The high ram echo chamber is a little tiresome at this point. I get that it's probably higher then your average linux install. But come on... It's almost 2020. 2gb's of ram is nothing when most machines have at least 16gb at this point. There are plenty of light weight distro's out there for old hardware. 2gb of ram is not at all an issue for modern hardware.

I'm willing to bet that the Nvidia drivers are a big part of that size.
VARMINT! VAR-effeing-MINT! That's a noble critter that you're insulting there buddy. Why, the royal mantles that have been made from ermine pelts, and you dare insult animals with such soft and great to make clothes of pelts pally. Vermin, and to think the Romans domesticated them to hunt actual floppy eared, cotton tailed -varmints- just so you can insult them now mate.

Thanks for the review. Could you touch on other subjects while reviewing the new releases, besides upgraded packages view or themes/looks. What about system improvents, like factory reset, atomic upgrades/ rollback? Mobile companion integration and syncing files between distros out of the box? These are badly overlooked among distro reviewers, and its a shame that nobody even talks about it. Thanks

I use CUPERTINO desktop layout.
I notice global menu does not work perfectly.
Some software's menu bar setup on own bar.
I want menu bar works to global menu.
NB. Some Apps like Google Chrome, Brave Web Browser, VS Code, Intellij Idea IDE, VLC player, SM Player and LibreOffice work well global menu.
But all sofwares do not work global menu, here global menu show just app name.

You know, it's weird, I'm starting to hate Gnome less, the more I am exposed to it. It's strange-looking, but simple...not so different from Mac OS really, just arranged differently. In that sense, the transition from Windows would not be so different now than it was for people moving from the Windows XP desktop to Gnome 2. And take it from me, that move was an eye-opening experience.

Gnome theming isn't that standard and Ubuntu don't push it, so you need to install gnome-tweaks. The other tools you've seen from the search were from mate and other distributions.
It is sad they don't customize the gnome settings app to explose this setting since they ship not only their black and white theme, but also an all white and an all white variant.

These snaps are getting out of hand. It is one thing to package an app that isn't native to Linux. Why the hell do you snap htop or calculator? If it is a native app install it as a native app. Want a more recent one. Download the source and compile it. I'm staying away from snap if I can.
