My RAM usage is very high, and it seems to be going to buff/cach very quickly. I have 16G of Ram and after fresh boot
free -h
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 15Gi 2.0Gi 12Gi 20Mi 1.3Gi 13Gi
Swap: 32Gi 0B 32Gi
if I run it again in about 10 minutes
free -h

Mem: 15Gi 3.4Gi 7.1Gi 88Mi 5.1Gi 11Gi

I'm running KDE with pulseaudio, gcdemu, lutris and valvaldi with about 6 tabs open.
