You cannot be serious?! Are you trolling?

• First of all, something not being free (as in gratis) does not mean it is proprietary per se.

• Second of all, your reading comprehension failed you again:

This (again) is from the link in the comment you replied to…
Your attitude really doesn’t work well with your lack of reading comprehension.

The link is in the comment you replied to.
How exactly were you not able to see that?

The link is right there, you could’ve just clicked it instead of taking the time to write this question?!

My / is a tmpfs.

There is no state accumulating that I didn’t explicitly specify, exactly because I don’t want to deal with those kind of chores.

I don’t think they meant forcing themselves because their RAM would fill up, but because their stuff would be gone after rebooting if they didn’t move it.

I meant like in general…

I do agree it’s worth investigating if it happens again. My best guess so far would be some kind of data written to a tmpfs. That’d explain it not being associated with a particular process, yet counting towards actual used RAM.

Why do you care so much about memory usage?

Unused RAM is wasted RAM.
