As for your use of tabs/spaces: Use tabs to indent, but never to align. Tabs can be any size on a system, you cannot know in advance what size they will be. When used for indention, tabs are better than spaces because they never create ambiguity, and in your editor you can choose how many spaces you want to see a tab indention. However, if you align things in code or strings, this will look wrong when displayed in an editor or system where the user has chosen a different tab size.
Yeah you're absolutely right, I've probably broken the alignment on other systems now as the other indents on the help text are actually spaces, so I corrected entirely the wrong bit
Why are you worried about your RAM in the beginning? Empty RAM is wasted RAM. It's like having a car and then never driving it. Only RAM in use serves a purpose. If apps don't need the RAM right now, a system should use it for something else, like caching files or as a ramdisk for /tmp or whatever servers a meaningful purpose to make your system run smoother. People being obsessed with how many unused RAM they have is just stupid. E.g. cache can simply be dropped by the kernel at any time, so this RAM is instantly available when a process requests it but until then it would be a waste to not use it.
My thinking is if the idle usage is good and low then that bodes well for when I'm actually using it for important stuff so I was momentarily confused why it was higher until I realised I was recording, haha
