:ok:

That is for example my normal usage (firefox uses the most ram):

              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:          7,8Gi       2,8Gi       148Mi       526Mi       4,8Gi       4,2Gi
Swap:          11Gi       1,0Mi        11Gi

When you run your normal applications. How much is it?

Quick dirty command if you want to log the five first lines (sorted by memory usage) from command top, every five seconds, you can try this in a terminal, it will write the output in a file called loopmem.log and you could maybe see which program is taking all the memory before freeze maybe?:

while sleep 5; do top -b -c -i -w512 -n2 -o+%MEM|awk '/^top/{i++}i==2' | grep 'PID' -A 5 >> loopmem.log; done
