| * a PID of each process and how much RAM it uses (in kernel)? | 18:10:47 | |
| thanks | 18:18:05 | |
| I think I will make a logger for it, so that I can see changes over time. | 18:22:30 | |
| This shows 15.02 GiB while only around 200 MiB is free:
Does this mean that it shows cumulative sum of used+cached memory? | 19:27:41 | |
| It shows specifically kernel allocations | 19:28:48 | |
| Not userspace processes | 19:28:51 | |
| But memory used within the kernel | 19:28:56 | |
| Which means that I indeed can actually see what is using how much.. | 19:28:58 | |
| But I only have 15 GiB of RAM. | 19:29:21 | |
| Are there any outliers there? Maybe lines that take up most of the memory? | 19:29:22 | |
| * But I only have 15 GiB of RAM. Which means no memory left for userspace stuff | 19:29:46 | |
| Over 10 MiB:
| 19:31:06 | |
| Weird that now cache is very big from the start (or after a few minutes). | 19:32:39 | |
| 5GB of readahead looks a bit too much, but that should be released as necessary | 19:33:47 | |
| I guess you just need to wait for whatever is happening to happen again | 19:34:05 | |
| And look at the data then | 19:34:09 | |
| The only problem program I know is yandex-disk, that sits now at 1.1 GiB RAM. Very annoying, but I have too much stuff there that I can't transfer. It didn't do this before. | 19:35:14 | |
| It also uses at least 1 (maybe more) full CPU core when indexing, which can slow down the system. | 19:36:09 | |
| I set a 1 min loop for logging that whole file. I won't wait until my GUI dies again, which means I hopefully will have something to tell in 1 or 2 day. | 19:46:25 | |

| I just noticed that a single log file is like 0.5 MiB... surely I will have enough space for all that. | 19:47:39 | |

| Is it possible to live without Nautilus in Gnome? I've run into some issues with applications still expecting it as a file picker (specifically SQLite DB Browser) | 20:12:17 | |
