~19 Gb firefox
Tf you doing
The about:processes page doesn't even add up close to that:
Then it's just a bug I guess
Or someone is getting very rich in bitcoin right now
Someone else pointed out cached RAM is shown as used in Linux, so Firefox is probably showing actual usage and the process list probably includes the RAM cached for Firefox.
I need those tabs for... uhhhh...
Me when I load some big matrices
I had a power surge last night, desktop didn't even flinch.
My first thought was that it was running a windows vmβ¦
Nope, I don't have a windows VM at all.
What are you doing?
You don't want to know

ok seriously
I just uploaded 1000 photos to a photo printing website, and have many other SPA websites open. I also have like 20 different applications open that I just keep open for when I want them because I have the RAM for it so why not.
Welp I have 64gb of ram and I only ever use that much running llms.
I've had 64GB only a month or so and have not even broken 32GB before today. And now I find out this isn't even real, it's including cached RAM, so it sounds like I'm gonna need to get into LLMs! Shame it's on a laptop with integrated graphics.
I might be surprised with the performance u can get. Mind u a GPU would defiantly help.
What would you suggest as a starting point for someone who has never run an LLM before?

It do be like that
Windows shows memory used for cache as free. Linux per default shows it as used.
Try free -m
Also I would disable swap, it is no longer 2004.

Ah thanks for the explanation!

I'm using Bazzite as of recently, and learnt the first day not to touch the system. Anyway, it's zram not an on disk swap file.
