The output from the cat /proc/meminfo command provides detailed information about the memory usage on my
system. Here's a breakdown of the key fields:

MemTotal: The total physical RAM available on my system, which is 7,902,396 kB (approximately 7.9 GB).
MemFree: The amount of memory that is completely free, which is 6,572,080 kB (about 6.57 GB).
MemAvailable: The amount of memory that is available for starting new applications, without swapping, which
is 7,265,432 kB (about 7.27 GB).
Buffers: Memory used by kernel buffers, which is 33,444 kB.
Cached: Memory used by the page cache and slabs, which is 847,236 kB.
SwapTotal: The total swap space available, which is 2,097,152 kB (about 2 GB).
SwapFree: The swap space currently unused, which is also 2,097,152 kB.
Active: The amount of memory that is actively being used by processes, which is 210,364 kB.
Inactive: Memory that is not actively used but could be re-used, which is 749,772 kB.
KernelStack: Memory used by kernel stacks, which is 4,000 kB.
Slab: Memory used for kernel data structures, which is 119,308 kB.
PageTables: Memory used for page tables, which is 2,632 kB.
CommitLimit: The limit for the total amount of memory that can be allocated (both RAM and swap), which is
6,048,348 kB.
Committed_AS: The total amount of memory that has been allocated by processes, which is 574,500 kB.
VmallocTotal: The total amount of virtual memory available, which is extremely large at 34 GB.
VmallocUsed: The amount of virtual memory currently in use is 26,216 kB.
FROM THIS The system has a large amount of free memory (6,572,080 kB or about 6.57 GB), which indicates
that your system is not under heavy memory pressure. This means that there is ample RAM available for
running new applications or handling additional processes without immediate concerns of running out of
memory.
