>I only want 15% to be used at all times.
Not OP, but yeah. I prefer to use my RAM for actually running programs. There's no excusable reason that 44% is used at idle.
Cached shit doesn't even show on usage, that's 3gb and a half of pure garbage.

source: trust me bro
there's different tiers of caches, and they show up or not differently
the point is that the OS is making use of free ram to be faster and not burn your SSD, and they all do this, you moronic israelite
>Why yes I do have a total understanding of memory allocation behaviour in a production-grade operating system. See, you just look at this percentage figure.
Ask the Pajeets at Microsoft.
I had a Windows VM on a Linux host and the thing absolutely choked on a 4-HDD RAID10 for several minutes after boot. Had to put it on an SSD just to have a usable system. That was with full host-side caching enabled with sync requests ignored (unsafe cache). Without that it was even worse.
The only reason Windows is usable at all is because hardware keeps improving. Kinda feel bad for the poor bastards who have to buy cheap Windows laptops with HDDs.
windows was intolerable on hdd's in 10 as well
i actually downgraded a laptop from 10 back to 7 /purely/ because it ran so poorly on a hdd
ssds are really cheap now, so if you want 10/11, just get an ssd, they don't care about hdd users anymore
Oh no, my OS actually uses my RAM. I always buy plenty of RAM, but I only want 15% to be used at all times.
homie look at the CPU usage ffs
1%
the folder icons are straight from a loonix distro from 2003 though
1%?

ever think you might be missing something?
That's not how it works.

>3,4gb memory used with nothing open
windows bros...
unused ram is wasted ram
wasted ram is also wasted ram
your quote is about caches, which op is not displaying, the memory usage on the left does not count caches
ram is big cache
i'm talking about system I/O caches specifically, if you really must make me spell it out
ram is io
not in typical computer nomenclature it isn't
just disable printspooler, that should free up some RAM
WINDOWS ROCKS!

huh, they finally fixed the 100% cpu 24/7 bug
>bug
itoddlers have it worse. like 2-3 gb idle with no apps open

Why are you so tech incompetent? Who knows.
