I’m not familiar on a very technical level how linux uses memory, but the memory usage seems pretty high to me…
Output from free -h
:
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 15Gi 6,2Gi 316Mi 819Mi 8,5Gi 7,7Gi
Swap: 16Gi 1,8Gi 14Gi
Buff/cache 8 gigabytes? Isn’t that a bit much?
Used 6 gigabytes as well, i’m having firefox open and a launcher for a game right now, nothing that would really be using that much memory. I do have 3 activities set up, is that it? Nothing’s on them though, they’re just there to switch to when i need them (kinda like a virtual desktop, but better! ).

If the high memory usage is normal, then, ok, but it doesn’t seem to be available to the system. And i’m not sure what’s using 6 giabytes of it. Especially since, the system does feel like it’s lagging a bit with such high usage. Which wasn’t happening before.
Now, i ordered another 16 GB memory stick to have more memory available when i’m using my virtual machine, but i don’t want Manjaro to eat that up as well. I mean, even typing this feels laggy, text lags behind typing and typing free -h
again in the terminal tells me i have 300 Mi free memory…
Which leas me to believe something’s not right but i don’t know how to troubleshoot it.
Like, can i check somehow it htop
or top
? I don’t know how to navigate those programs though…
