screen shot of memory usage by app, showing Firefox using over 18GB of RAM

I also don’t understand why every chat app needs 1GB of RAM to itself.

    Does it mean 35.1 GB out of the 44.3 GB is actually cached? Then you have quite low actual RAM usage considering you have 67 GB.

      Oh good question. Now I’m wondering. 44+35 is bigger than the 67GB I have, but normally I would expect pretty much all the RAM to hold cached data, where some is also marked as free in case a process needs it.

      Can someone explain this memory screen, as your question has raised many more for me!
