I'm not sure what your asking or saying? but i have attached a couple of screen shots of my systems idle ram usage i understand Removing evolution completely is messy, but disabling is relatively straightforward.
Of course this should have been done using dpkg divert and whatever, to not confuse apt/dpkg when you upgrade your system. after applying my workaround my system no longer has high ram and the ram no longer starts to increase steadily, i know that evolution and gnome software seem to no take very much resources but this is what made it even more strange when i removed and disabled them my ram went down and stayed down. ill try attach screen shots of my system monitor and htop below so you can see my idle ram usage now keeping mind i have a lot of start up services and apps installed but its dramatically reduced from from before i applied this work around. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1572801 Title: Ubuntu 16.04 Unity desktop uses much more ram than Ubuntu 15.10 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in linux source package in Xenial: Confirmed Bug description: Ubuntu 16.04 64bit ISO number 20160420.1 unity version 7.4.0+16.04.20160415-0ubuntu1 Ubuntu 16.04 64bit ram usage has increase dramatically over Ubuntu 15.10 Ubuntu 16.04 ram roughly 1 GB Ubuntu15.10 can be tuned to 420, 450 MB Ubuntu 16.04 with unity uses 1GB whereas Kubuntu 16.04 is using 420MB live usb ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: unity 7.4.0+16.04.20160415-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-21.37-generic 4.4.6 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-21-generic x86_64 .tmp.unity_support_test.0: ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CasperVersion: 1.376 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: compiz CompositorUnredirectDriverBlacklist: '(nouveau|Intel).*Mesa 8.0' CompositorUnredirectFSW: true CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Thu Apr 21 01:44:22 2016 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: xenial DistroVariant: ubuntu GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0412] (rev 06) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
