      Its more likely caching. They just keep the cache of files opened earlier so that its ready for you if you need it immediately again. Also unused ram is wasted ram

        Pagecache doesn’t count towards used ram.

        Also unused ram is wasted ram

        Uninstall ram sticks to not waste them.

          Yes it won’t count used ram. But the other person has a “feeling” that linux uses the same ram even when he quit the apps. So that may count.

          Use RAM efficiently. There is no point in freeing all ram
