[BUG] swap status incorrect and memory usage off #1704
Description
Read the FAQ first
- I have checked the FAQ but the issue is not covered
Description
I was trying to use fastfetch to display swap status and expecting it to display it correctly. But it turned out it was incorrect.
fastfetch shows:
Swap: Disabled
sysctl vm.compressor_mode gives me vm.compressor_mode: 4 on the other hand meaning "4 -> Compress memory: Enabled； Swap memory: Enabled"
Furthermore:
memory usage report by fastfetch seems to be off by 10 - 15% compared to "Activity Monitor" app on macOS. how come?
Version used
fastfetch 2.39.1 (aarch64)
