It actually turns out that there are many ways to measure memory usage, because there are many different types of memory. This means that memory usage measurements between different apps and CLI tools are always bound to differ based on what their authors count as memory, unfortunately. |
Created attachment 173692 [details] 3 Windows showing different system monitors, on the bottom left is top, on the top left its htop and the right its plasma-systemmonitor plasma-systemmonitor shows an exaggerated ram usage after using the system for a while 1. Start Plasma6 2. Use the system normally or idly 3. Measure high ram usage despite 2. OBSERVED RESULT The system monitor is reporting a false number that shows the ram usage climbing as system is being used, this is the same number reported by top but not reported by htop/btop EXPECTED RESULT It should show a realistic number going in line with system monitors like htop/btop and not an exaggerated number SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: NixOS 24.05 KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 Kernel Version: 6.6.51 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 4 × 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i3-1115G4 @ 3.00GHz Memory: 15.4 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics
