Why is it different from ram usage in actual?

why is it different from ram usage in actual usage?
on the widget it indicates 75%, but actually it is 55%.
just wondering if it has a bug or there is some reason.

sorry for the language tho.

Hi! Thanks for the report! I use Committed Memory to display it on widget. You can see it on the Task Manager under the big graph: 13.5 / 18.1 GB ~ 75%

I'm not really sure how Task Manager calculates PC's memory percentage, that's the closest formula I can get yet. I will try to research this info, but for now there's no fix

Check out Big Sur RC1 Widgets by fediaFedia. Their RAM meter works perfectly fine, so maybe you can take a look at their code and then implement it into your code.
