For some reason, my laptop has lately stopped responding more often. I don't know why, but I suspect that there is some process in the background slowly eating my RAM. I have had moments where I only had discord open and a single terminal tab, and 50% RAM usage.

However, when I completely restart my laptop it seems to be just fine, now I have open

  • Discord (to make this message)
  • A terminal tab (kitty)
  • Zed (code editor)
  • 10 firefox tabs

with 62% ram usage. What is going on?

run top -o %MEM, this will show all running processes sorted in order of memory usage.
