screen shot of memory usage by app, showing Firefox using over 18GB of RAM

I also don’t understand why every chat app needs 1GB of RAM to itself.

    Windows shows memory used for cache as free. Linux per default shows it as used.

    Ah thanks for the explanation!

    Also I would disable swap, it is no longer 2004.

    I’m using Bazzite as of recently, and learnt the first day not to touch the system. Anyway, it’s zram not an on disk swap file.

      It depends on the application used as some show cached as used and some don’t. But it is being more common to not show cached as used.
