We have run the command and procedures mentioned in this article on a Ubuntu 18.04 LTS system. In this article, we will explain the following things you can do about your installed RAM, through the Ubuntu command line: We want to know how much RAM is installed on our system, how much of it we can use, is our RAM free of errors, and much more. While using Ubuntu, we come across many scenarios where RAM is a huge consideration. When you are looking for a high-performance computing system, a good balance of an adequately sized and fast RAM is your answer. Not only this, when you run a program, your operating system and RAM are the medium on which it is run. When you save the file, your system copies it to a more stable and non-volatile space( hardware), called the Read Only Memory. Whenever you open a file for viewing or editing, your system creates a temporary instance of that file in your RAM so that you can work on it.
RAM, short for Random Access Memory can be considered the workspace of your computer system.
