    In general, I'm installing Peppermint and during installation, when the memory is not even full, for some reason it goes to swap. And I opened the bootloader to load Peppermint.

    Not too sure what you are referring to.

    Do you mean while installing you have opened a terminal and typed free -m to review memory usage? Since the Bookworm release, free has has been changed the way it measures the system memory. It is an upstream amendment. We have determined htop is a more actuate tool to measure RAM, as it gives a dynamic reading.

    Please review the screenshot of the htop terminal monitor and the Gnome system monitor, both give a dynamic reading with fluctuations of the system resources as the CPU and Memory react to an open browser, that was viewing our community forum. The terminal command free -m is a static snapshot, usually used as an aid to determine boot up resource usage.

    The swap usage of 6, maybe is a ghost in the system. Otherwise I do not have an indicator to what caught your attention, to take such a reading during an install. Bar curiosity?
