Rationale

Measuring RAM usage on Linux can be tricky. Probably the most correct way to measure it is to use USS, i.e:

USS (Unique Set Size) is the memory which is unique to a process and which would be freed if the process was terminated right now.

Unfortunately, tools like top and htop do not report this metric. Nevertheless, psutil does collect it, so, we use it as the backend to monitor RAM usage.

Install

pipx install pmon
