        They measure things differently. Choose only one to trust, and always compare RAM use using the same tool.

          Hi, I am pretty sure this has already been discussed elsewhere in the forum in a topic related to ‘conky’ (I guess).

          A quick internet search revealed a web-page that is probably related:
          https://www.linuxatemyram.com/

          Not quite related comment:
          Also, sometimes file-sizes are sometimes reported with different values due to different units (I guess the same may apply to memory), see e.g.
