    Damn, so my machine with 32GB of RAM can use 14.5 GB when I have all my screens full of applications and programs instead of 16GB 😎

    What a score if you’re in 1995 still.

    Don’t get me wrong, I use Linux and have a recycle pile laptop running a jellyfin server but this RAM thing is just so dumb. Modern machines have far more system resources than you’d ever need to optimize your build so much for. Tricks like these are only useful for getting more use from outdated hardware.
