M1 Pro Swapping Ram

[Lucas Curious]

I have the base 16.2" and here is what macOS does when I have 11 spaces opened, each with its own App. All apps are low power safari, chrome, pages, notes, stocks, music, books etc. It always tries to keep 4gb ram free and swaps the rest but performance is smooth as usual.

What's the question/issue?

none. Im just pointing out that macOS holds 5gb ram free and swaps while not showing performance loss when doing normal stuff for those who may think they need more than 16gb.

So, basically something you would have never noticed if you didn't check Activity Monitor?
