Hello. It has occurred to me, with the problem with the xsession-errors file progressively consuming HDD space until it runs out, causing crashing, and the deflating of the file, using the '>' action, to ask whether a similar way exists, of freeing RAM that has been hijacked - RAM that is also progressively consumed until it causes system failure, with applications that are closed either in an orderly manner, or by crashing, not freeing up the RAM (and, the evil javascript seeking to sabotage the system, by, amongst other things, progressively consuming the free RAM, until the system runs out of RAM and fails), so that I could run a command, and, RAM that is not currently in use by programs that are running, is freed?
At present, with 16GB of RAM, on this computer, and, "91% in use by programs" and "8% in use as cache" (even though, I set cache off, in each of the web browsers), it is a system riddled with bloatware, and, like a cow with bloat, where it keeps getting bigger and bigger, it needs for the gas to be released. If browser windows are shut, the RAM is still occupied and unusable, and, the parasitic javascript progressively consumes the RAM, until it takes it all, so, a means of relieving the pressure, would be useful. Once again, it would be better to be able to fix the problem (deflating the bloat), rather than being required to shut the system down (kill the animal).
