I think this shows how much ram the internal gpu is using (the igpu line)

Code: Select all

sudo inxi --dmidecode -mxxx
So on my mini-pc, I get this:

Code: Select all

$ sudo inxi --dmidecode -mxxx
Memory:
  System RAM: total: 16 GiB available: 15.4 GiB used: 4.46 GiB (28.9%)
    igpu: 60 MiB
  Array-1: capacity: 64 GiB slots: 2 modules: 1 EC: None
    max-module-size: 32 GiB note: est.
  Device-1: Controller0-ChannelA-DIMM0 type: DDR5 detail: synchronous
    size: 16 GiB speed: 4800 MT/s volts: 1.1 width (bits): data: 64 total: 64
    manufacturer: Crucial Technology part-no: CT16G48C40S5.M8A1
    serial: E77DDE7B
  Device-2: Controller1-ChannelA-DIMM0 type: no module installed

System reports as a desktop but it’s got a mobile graphics part.
New Mini computer, just got it Thursday. My old one was falling apart, literally. Took forever to install MX Linux and set it up the way I like it. There is no function key to access a USB disk. had to go into BIOS. Now have 4 Tb in two inner NVMe and two outer drives. Looking forward to 64GiB RAM. On a limited budget.

looks like 4gb is shared video. Rest available to system. This would not be an uncommon scenario on an integrated setup.

FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.

Thanks, did not think of that. Makes sense. The upgraded RAM should more than take care of that.
