Could you sort the SYS monitor by "Memory" please? You have it currently sorted by "Downloaded".

As for htop, could you hide threads? Hitting "h" should do it, IIRC.

🤔 Nothing looks suspicious there besides easy effects. No idea what that is. Since you're seeing programs of your own user and not that of the system, there might be services running besides yours.

Could you try running sudo htop, hiding threads, and sorting by memory?

One additional programming you can run is ps_mem. Try running sudo ps_mem after installing it and either screenshotting or copy pasting the result result here.

P.S you can explore a more detailed system monitor in KDE by hitting Ctrl+ESC(ape). It will open ksysguard. I'm on mobile now, but maybe that can also be opened in root with ksudo ksysguard. But the output of ps_mem should be more helpful.
