![]() ![]() ![]() I had trouble getting Waterfox to work on Zorin 15 when I upped to 15. I find it controlling, scattered, cluttered and hard to organize. But I have not been able to find that greatness. I absolutely hate Gnome and how they became the Microsoft of Linux and will trash Gnome every chance I get. You might, but no one is entitled the right to go through life unoffended. It just happens to be my opinion, not a fact set in stone. Now, I know there will be at least a couple of guys that take some offense to that statement about Gnome and KDE. I did use Mate with Linux Mint for quite a while, but Gnome and KDE became non-options for me a long time ago. There are several much lighter environments out there, but I still prefer a few "extras". I prefer small, lightweight desktop environments and window managers. You said you used Waterfox "at that time". I can't have half of my 4GB of memory tied up in my browser. Would you agree with that? And if that's the case, I'm definitely going to be looking for a different browser. To me, that says there are some really serious memory leaks in this version of SeaMonkey. That's with nothing but a blank page opened. Task manager actually showed memory usage at 40% to as much as 44%. Then I closed all tabs except one and opened that tab as a blank page using about:blank. That rules out any addons being the cause of the problem. Then I opened a total of 10 tabs with various web pages on them. When I launched Task Manager it reported only 15% memory usage. I did a complete shut down of the laptop to insure everything was cleared out. I forget whose that secondary is, but it checks as the fastest, or second fastest, server for me using Namebench. I actually already have Cloudfare as my primary DNS. So I'm willing to consider trying abut anything to fix the SeaMonkey problem and if that can't be done, I'm willing to try a different browser. I'm relatively sure the problem isn't necessarily a ZorinOS problem, but I tried Firefox first and it was even worse. When I check memory usage it will show from 50% to as much as 75%. Then, if I pop open 5 or 6 new tabs, everything on the laptop slows WAY DOWN. After launching SeaMonkey the reported usage is at least 40%. Before launching SeaMonkey, Task Manager reports around 20% of memory used. My laptop is a Lenovo G50-45 with 4GB RAM. At this point, my specific problem is with SeaMonkey 2.53.2 that I have installed on my laptop. If not, could someone correct me and let me know where it should have been? Admins are welcomed to move this where it needs to be. I hope this is the place to post this problem. It took me a bit of tweaking to finally get things the way I like them, but I'm very happy with things now. I'm very happy to say I now have Zorin 15.2 Lite installed, tweaked, and running on both my Lenovo laptop and my wife's Lenovo laptop. I very recently got totally disgusted with Linux Mint and gave Zorin another whirl. I have tried Zorin in the distant past, but had trouble getting all my hardware working. ![]()
