Why do you have so many tabs of Chromium browser open? Every tab opens a new instance and uses that much more RAM. Try closing some if not all to get your memory back. You can useinxi -t m20to see the top 20 memory hogs of your system. Or press Shift+M while intop. Chances are it is going to be Chromium that is taking most of your RAM.

Or use FireFox...

Many thanks, yes there were quite a few tabs open...easier than remembering :) I'll keep them to a minimal and might try Firefox too.

Why do you have so many tabs of Chromium browser open? Every tab opens a new instance and uses that much more RAM. Try closing some if not all to get your memory back. You can useinxi -t m20to see the top 20 memory hogs of your system. Or press Shift+M while intop. Chances are it is going to be Chromium that is taking most of your RAM.

Many thanks, yes there were quite a few tabs open...easier than remembering :) I'll keep them to a minimal and might try Firefox too.
