Thank you for this website! It's really helpful since it's such a common source of confusion. One thing that's even more confusing is how this works inside a docker container. I think the principles are the same, but tools like top and free are no longer as helpful. With docker becoming more popular, it might make sense to add a section to explain how to check "How do I see how much free ram I really have?" inside a docker container.
