Hard to break old WM habits

[parousia15]

I have been a long time WM user. As a result of this history, I have certain, almost engrained habits I'm finding hard to abandon.

For example, I'm obsessed with RAM. This is because WM performs very poorly when RAM is low. When I got my Evo, I notice that after a fresh boot I have around 250mb of RAM. Naturally I downloaded ATK and started watching my RAM like a hawk. But after doing some research, it seems that this is not necessary.

Android is run by Linux, which handles memory differently than WM (so I'm told). As such, RAM appears to not affect performance (I haven't noticed anything even when RAM gets to 50mb). I've subsequently uninstalled ATK (reading task killers seems to do more harm than good on Android)

I'm guessing I have to completely re-educate myserlf about Android/Linux and accept it's nothing like WM.

Agree/disagree?
