This is from a fresh boot of the system, except sshd I have not started anything else. ram consumption used to be just 126-200 mb now it has jumped so significantly that I am concerned I might have unnecessarily bloated my system:
I intend to use the system as a local server with an optional fully featured WM(Hyprland which is installed, but this screenshot was taken before it was loaded) for occasional use.
Ram conservation is a top priority and I would like to know if such a big jump in usage is normal or are there is something wrong with my system config
It’s apparently jumped by almost a third of all of their available RAM. That’s pretty significant.
I meant like in general…
I do agree it’s worth investigating if it happens again. My best guess so far would be some kind of data written to a tmpfs. That’d explain it not being associated with a particular process, yet counting towards actual used RAM.
Not really. Doesn’t sound like they are having any problems.
I said it was significant, not that they were having problems.
If they’re not having problems then why investigate?
