Some of that memory can be immediately freed upon demand though (the page cache) so to get the amount of memory th To get the amount of memory that either i used and can't be immediately freed upon demand, subtract MemTotal from MemAvailable. That's what the kernel developers themselves wrote, at least. Hopefully no CLI tool will be more accurate than they are. I dunno what CLI tools do, but they probably just parse /proc/meminfo to get their data.
