Just following up on my previous post -- in my experience, that 390Mi of free memory is low -- I get very nervous when my free memory falls below 1.5G, and I typically go through my killall process at that point. (I do have more memory -- 16 G)


The 390Mi was the buffer/cache number. Today's result:

               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           7.7Gi       5.1Gi       1.3Gi       138Mi       1.7Gi       2.6Gi
Swap:           37Gi        52Mi        37Gi

And the problem was also occurring on my other computer, MSI Z790 with Intel i9-14000K and 64 GB of memory.

It's not a memory problem. I turned off "hardware acceleration" in Firefox and got a crash later.

I'm usinng Chromium now and (so far) I haven't had any crashes.
