Why the big difference in ram between conky and lxtask? Just curious.

What are you using for memory in conky? $mem?
Do you have "show memory used for cache as free" in lxtask?

Changed the line in conky from $mem to $legacymem and the ram figures were brought more inline with each other.

I was curious about this, so did a little research and turns out conky changed what it reports for $mem.
In conky 1.11.6 and up, $mem is calculated as MemTotal - MemAvailable.
In conky 1.12.2 and up, $legacymem is offered which is the same as the pre 1.11.6 $mem behavior = UsedMem, same as lxtask and neofetch.
conky also has $freemem for total unused memory.
