Snap store and gnome software using a ton of RAM

tf flag

Snap Store and Gnome-Software use 1.5GB and 1.4GB respectively, is this normal? If I kill the process and restart, they seem to hover at around ~700MB each, mind you the ~1.5GB is on startup.

Is this normal, and also how can I disable them from startup applications considering they're not on the list of startup applications?

Something is definitely amiss. When I run snap-store it takes up ~45MB initially and increases to ~60MB when I installed a new app.

Most software that autostarts on login is located in the directory /etc/xdg/autostart/.
You can delete or move any .desktop shortcut that you don't want auto-starting.

To disable Gnome Software autostart, you could also copy /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-software-service.desktop to ~/.config/autostart and append X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false to the end of the file.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
