Maybe I should say memory overflow
I understand that it takes up memory, but it takes up a lot and affects the normal performance of the system
For some reason you are refusing to understand that Linux will not have a lot of unused memory even after being told numerous times why. It will appear to be used up because the OS is placing things there in case they are used. If more ram is needed the system will empty out what it needs. This will happen faster than a human can see it happen.
Before my exploding Cooler Master PSU I ran 8GB.
Now I’m running 16GB.
Generally my RAM is about half full unless I start running virtual machines or other crazy stuff.
I don’t shut down too often, I set an rtcwake for 0630 so that my alarm can play music to get me up… and just suspend for the night.
So I really don’t see the point of worrying about exactly what’s going on all the time - because the machine works as expected.
Try NOT looking at RAM use for a week, see how it goes
