I just saw this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments ... n_updated/. The user says his debian 9 xfce has a memory consumption of 345.43mb on day to day use, however on a clean install I got around 600-800mb minimum usage.
So, I was wandering how much memory is your Debian is consuming

Debian ram usage

Re: Debian ram usage
Are you saying that for some reason my os is caching more stuff in ram? Im ok with it and my system is fast anyway, just found it odd that gsm had a biggest increase of ram usage than the average.ruffwoof wrote:... or wasting. Free = unused = wasted.

He's saying that, as far as I can gather, gsm lists the amount of used and cached memory, whereas free -m does not list the cached memory usage.silvaf6 wrote:

There's a saying in tech communities that "unused RAM is wasted RAM" which is upheld by some while being sneered at by others - largely gamers who have 16GB-64GB of RAM, much of which will likely never be used. Personally I am on 5GB of RAM, 3GB SWAP and I have never maxed out.
