1Noticing in your screenshot that you have a lot of Chrome processes. So you probably have a lot of Chrome tabs open. Maybe this is consuming your RAM. This is not the OSs fault. Modern websites are often optimized for developer speed/"time-to-market" over anything else, including memory and network footprint.– LawrenceCCommented Jul 6, 2022 at 14:21

Most of your used memory is being allocated to Chrome.– RamhoundCommented Jul 6, 2022 at 17:08

@LawrenceC Actually just a single tab was opened (stack exchange) while posting the query. I wanted get as minimalistic ram usage due to apps.– Prabhav AgrawalCommented Jul 7, 2022 at 14:16

A quick search tells me "Chrome helper processes" are due to plug-ins. Do you have too many of those?– LawrenceCCommented Jul 7, 2022 at 15:22

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
