From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How about if I go away from the mobile app and then go back into it, then it doesn't reload the page I was just on. I can still see where I was until I click it, why do you need to reload it? Fuckin' bullshit.

My phone has this problem. It's RAM.

My phone is literally never not using the full 8 GB it has, and it's constantly juggling. Even when I have next to nothing open.

What's eating it all? Fuck if I know. My phone also has a system memory leak that has eaten up 90% of the onboard storage with modem crash dumps I can't delete without root, and this phone has no custom firmware to do that. Got what I paid for, I guess...

I don't see this behavior on android. Is it impossible that there is some kind of phone battery or memory usage process that's causing the sessions to be discarded?

When the OS tells Android Firefox that the phone is running out of ram, it murders any tabs it thinks you might not be looking at, to avoid being murdered by Android for its ram.

I just replicated it by opening a second app. It doesn't seem to do it every time.

Does discord happen to have similar behavior? Your phone may just be underpowered, I mean, so is mine.

I had that with my old phone, it's gone with more RAM
