Remember that free RAM is wasted RAM that you already paid for. As a result, modern browsers will behave differently in a RAM-rich vs. RAM-lean environment. If there’s wasted space lying around the browser will just hold on to everything on the off chance that it’s needed again, but will more aggressively purge things if you start running out of RAM.
Keep in mind that when I say “the browser” I also mean Spotify and Discord because those are Electron apps which means they are actually just Chrome tabs in a trench coat.
Yeah and I actually say that to people all the time. But you know it's bad when battlebit is using 12GB of ram. That game itself is only 2GB.
And it's not just games and electron apps. Every peice of software now-a-days is so huge
That's the same with Linux. It will always use the unused RAM for Disk Caching

That's a very correct comment, which actually means more memory does not always solve everything
