  • Yes and no. Android has separate OS and data partitions. On Linux, this is configurable; in most installer defaults, root and home partitions are not separated. But it’s trivial to do after the fact, if you have some unpartitioned space or can shrink your root partition.

    However, unless you’re using flatpaks or something, it’s not guaranteed that installed programs containerize their data in the same way as Android apps.












  • You should set it back to whatever it was. It shows 5.6 GB in active use and 19 GB used for cache. You’re already using all your RAM, just not actively. You don’t sit on 100% of the chairs in your house at once either. 3 GB swap used is very low usage, which is expected when you’re not actively using a lot of memory.

    Don’t mess with things you don’t understand, especially when you don’t have an actual problem. You’re going to end up breaking things. (Which, to be fair, is one way to learn, but at the cost of breakage.)
