Hey guys, I’m having a problem which is basically: my ram is permanently occupied after using heavy softwares like Blender and Substance Painter. Right now I have 24gb RAM, when I initialize my system I have about 20/21gb ram to use, when I start to render in Blender or make any texture in Substance Painter on most occasions I have around 3 or 4 GB of RAM available while these programs are open. But after closing this softwares I have 10 or 12gb to work with, sometimes even less, so I need to reboot my computer to get all the RAM back. What should I do to fix it? I’m don’t know which kind of information I should provide to better describe my problem, but I’ll send a inxi -Fxz
