i have 8GB of ram. When my ram usage reaches around 70%, my computer starts to lag. When it reaches 80%, it gets blocked, and it doesn't work unless i restart it.
20% of ram is more than 1GB so how come mint blocks when it gets to 80% ram usage ? and how can i fix this ?
Information:
RAM : 8GB
CPU : AMD A8-5600K
MINT : 19.2
DE : CINNAMON 4.0.10
APPLICATION THAT I USE OFTEN: Caprine, Mailspring, VSCode, Chrome, Skype, Spotify
EDIT 1 :
I already have
Code: Select all
vm.swappiness = 10
Here 's a screenshot of top and free when the system is at 84%, i clicked the PRINT SCREEN button when it was on 80% then the system blocked, i waited for a couple minutes, then i had to do CTRL + ALT + F1, kill some programs (code, chrome, caprine) for it to unblock.
