Display RAM usage Ubuntu.
I recommend installing a system monitor extension to add an indicator of RAM or CPU usage.
To install the extension, just run the command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt install indicator-multiload
Now you can find the system load indicator in your applications list.
Select it, and you will see the small indicator at the top right corner (top bar).
Click on the indicator and select Preferences.
Select indicator items:
Add a new element:
RAM $(size(mem.user))
As a result, you will see:
Ensure your new indicator item is at the top of the list.
That's it. Now you can easily see the indicator of RAM usage in the top bar of your ubuntu machine.
