> Not it's a human bug (not knowing enough about your system). I know enough about my systems, yet I think Windows is doing it right. The numbers reported by Linux, or visible on the “memory composition” diagram in Windows task manager, are borderline useless for everyone except OS kernel developers. Despite I know these hairy implementation details about the ways OS kernel manages physical memory, I don’t really care. When I check these system tools, in 100% of cases I want answer to the question “how much ram my applications could use without swapping”.
