Screenshot is showing an uptime of 23:45 so not helpful for showing memory use at boot
Another user made a similar allegation in September. I responded with data from free -h
Is it just me, or is Manjaro XFCE using more RAM lately? - #12 by nikgnomic
I have checked RAM usage again following recent updates and both systems show an increase in memory used when first booted
For my system:
$ free -h
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 15Gi 599Mi 14Gi 4.0Mi 468Mi 14Gi
Swap: 3.9Gi 0B 3.9Gi
net increase 599Mi - 538Mi = 61Mi
(the additional memory appeared to create a larger increase than subsequent updates)
Partner’s system
$ free -h
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 7.8Gi 499Mi 6.8Gi 2.0Mi 488Mi 7.0Gi
Swap: 3.9Gi 0B 3.9Gi
Net increase = 499Mi - 493Mi = 7Mi
