I have just installed installed Quickemu v-6.1.4.

I am somewhat confused as:

     (base) comp@Abanormal:~$ free -ght
                    total        used        free      shared
buff/cache   available
         Mem:           7.7Gi       2.3Gi       225Mi 34Mi      
5.4Gi       5.3Gi
         Swap:          975Mi        50Mi       925Mi
          Total:         8.6Gi       2.4Gi       1.1Gi

All your RAM is being used as buffer/cache. Run the following command to free up ram:
 
sudo sync && sh -c "/usr/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches"
 
The strange thing is that I have installed Windows 10 using QEMU/KVM
virt-manager without any RAM problems at all.

Some guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
