Heh I have ZRAM and several ramfs mounts still got TONS of unused RAM... 
Could you also provide the information I asked for about your RAM usage?

When I ran these commands I had just booted in my pc and had only firefox and terminal(konsole) running.
I don't know what GeckoMain is and what it does.
It seems firefox takes up too much of the memory, I checked the in browser task manager but it were only web pages/tabs that were consuming memory. I don't know how to share the result of task manager here since I couldn't copy it.
geckomain is part of firefox.

Indeed it looks like this gekomain can consume a lot of RAM in same cases. Eg
Even without uploading big files maybe there is something wrong that will be hopefully fixed...

You’re not running Discord or VS Code so you’re not running as many applications, which means you are using less RAM.
Not really, 2 or 3 GB is about right for a modern web browser. Chomium-based browsers are even worse.

Yours seems downright frugal compared to mine.
